U23 AFCON: We are going for win, nothing else – Black Meteors defender Edmund Arko-Mensah ahead of Guinea clash

Published on: 30 June 2023

Black Meteors defender Edmund Arko-Mensah has targeted victory against Guinea in their last group game on Friday night at the ongoing U23 AFCON tournament.

Ghana after winning 3-2 against Congo in their opening game shockingly succumbed to a 5-1 humiliation against Morocco on Tuesday which has now left them in a tight position to proceed to the semifinals of the competition.

Ghana will now have to beat Guinea to reach the next stage as their opponents hold on to a narrow advantage of goal difference following their win against Congo in the second match despite also losing to Morocco in their first match.

“I think we are here for win, nothing else” he said at the pre-match conference

Ghana will hope to move a step further if they beat Guinea as they hold on to their main target of returning to the Olympic Games after their last appearance in 2004.

To qualify for Paris 2024, they must finish in the top three, either as champions, runners-up, or second runners-up.
