Published on: 27 October 2022

Black Meteors of Ghana held their final training session at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday before their departure to Kumasi.

Coach Ibrahim Tanko and his charges will travel to Kumasi on Thursday to continue preparations for the second leg of their TotalEnergies CAF U-23 qualifiers against Mozambique on Sunday.

The team arrived in Accra on Tuesday evening from South Africa, where they made a transit from Maputo, Mozambique.

Ghana defeated the Mozambicans 2-1 to enhance their chances to advancing to the final stage of the CAF U-23 qualifiers.

The win puts Ghana on a strong footing ahead of the return leg which will be played at the Baba Yara Stadium on Sunday, October 30,2022 and will kick off at 3:00pm.

A win for Ghana in the return encounter will take Ghana into the final round of the qualifiers where the Black Meteors will face either Ethiopia or Algeria.

The fourth edition of the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations will take place in Morocco in June 2023.

Tanko was in charge of the team which finished fourth at the 2019 tournament won by hosts Egypt, which ensured Ghana missed out on the 2020 Olympic Games.
