The President of the Ghana Football Association Kurt Okraku has urged the Black Meteors to fight for qualification against Algeria in their 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying final round game on Tuesday.
The Ghana U-23 national team needs to avoid defeat to qualify after securing an away goal advantage following a 1-1 draw away in Algeria in the first leg on Friday.
Ahead of the game, Kurt Okraku visited their training ground on Saturday to congratulate the players and called on them to give their all to qualify.
“I came to express the gratitude of the Football Association and the country for the big fight you put in on Friday evening," he said.
“We all took time to watch the match and from what we saw we have to be optimistic about our collective future.
“We saw a team of warriors who wanted to make our country great regardless of what was thrown at us.
“Friday’s game is gone and we are starting a new game on Tuesday at 0-0. Let’s forget the result and let’s get ourselves prepared for a new game against Algeria."
