The Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum has confirmed that Mohammed Kudus and Kamaldeen Sulemana could join the Black Meteors squad for the 2023 U23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
Speaking to Akoma FM, he noted that the two Black Stars players are eligible to play at the upcoming tournament in Morocco.
He explained that should Black Meteors coach Ibrahim Tanko put in the request that he needs players from the senior team, arrangements will be made with Coach Chris Hughton.
“The two coaches will decide on it. Ibrahim Tanko will need to tell us his plans and which players he intends to take for the U23 tournament from the Black Stars.
“Once the players are made known to the FA, we will continue the conversation with Chris Hughton for his approval. If you will remember during Ghana v Algeria some players such as Issahaku and Ernest Nuamah who were eligible for U23 were permitted to play.
“Kudus Mohammed, Kamaldeen, and Joseph Paintsil among others are all qualified players who can play for the U23 in Morocco, should the request come and Chris Houghton gives the permission, they will all be eligible to feature for the Meteors,” Henry Asante Twum said.
Ghana at the U23 AFCON will be aiming to win the tournament for the first time. The Black Meteors also want to succeed at the tournament to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
