Black Meteors coach Ibrahim Tanko set sights on qualifying for 2023 AFCON

Black Meteors head coach, Ibrahim Tanko says his target is to qualify for the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ghana will face Mozambique in a double header later this month with the winner moving on to play the winner of the tie between Algeria and DR Congo.

The fourth edition of the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations will take place in Morocco in June 2023.

"In 2019 because of the Normalisation Committee and we have no FA that is why we struggled to qualify but now we have an FA and with their strong support we will qualify," coach Tanko told ghanafa.org.

"We are playing Mozambique from October 21-23 away and we hope by then we have a solid team to present. We know it is not going to be easy but definitely we hope that we are going to qualify because we are working hard."

Tanko was in charge of the team which finished fourth at the 2019 tournament won by hosts Egypt, which ensured Ghana missed out on the 2020 Olympic Games.
