Published on: 23 May 2023

Management Committee Chairman of Black Meteors, Frederick Acheampong has hinted that eligible Black Stars are likely to be named in Meteors' squad for the upcoming U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) slated for Morocco next month.

Ghana have been housed in Group A alongside Morocco, Congo and Guinea.

However, in an interview, Frederick Acheampong highlighted the importance of parading the best set of players to represent Ghana.

"The coaches have been monitoring the players, especially those with the Black Stars who are eligible to play for the Meteors," he told Citi Sports.

"As many as those who are eligible and are good, position-wise, the coach will invite them for the national team.

"We could find some players in the Black Stars playing in several positions and we might not be able to invite all of them to the Meteors.

"Between the coaches and ourselves, we know our aim and we know our targets, we are looking for quality, and so those who are available would be called to help us qualify," he added.

Meanwhile, Ibrahim Tanko, who is the head coach for the side has announced a 22-man squad to begin camping at the Ghanaman Soccer of Excellence at Prampram.

Ghana is hoping to pick up a slot in the next Olympic Games which will be staged in Paris.

Ghana will play Congo in their first game on June 25, 2023, before taking on Guinea and Morocco in the other Group matches.
