Black Meteors head coach Ibrahim Tanko has promised to beef up his squad before the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament to be held in Morocco.
The Accra Lions boss is saying this on the back of the team securing their place in the Olympic Games qualifying tournament on Tuesday after beating Algeria 1-0 at Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
Players like Mohammed Kudus and Kamaldeen Sulemana are still eligible for the tournament but Tanko has ruled out Kudus.
"I think Kudus cannot play in U-23 AFCON but we are looking at inviting good and quality players to come and help us," he said after the game.
“If only it's a FIFA date. I think it's the end of the season so we will have more of them."
The Black Meteors sealed their qualification after beating Algeria 1-0 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on Tuesday afternoon, giving Ghana a 2-1 aggregate win at the end of the two legs in the final qualification round.
Ghana started the game on the front foot, piling pressure on the opponent, and scored in the 12th minute through an impressive team play.
Winger Ernest Nuamah did great work on the left flank before lifting a lobbed cross into the far post. With the goal gaping, talented youngster Abdul Fatawu Issahaku scored with a powerful header that beat the Algeria goalkeeper and rushing defenders.
Ghana the Black Stars held on to pick the win after failing to convert some decent chances that came their way.
