Black Meteors return to Ghana after crashing out of U23 AFCON

Published on: 03 July 2023

Ghana’s Black Meteors have arrived in the country following a disappointing run at the ongoing U23 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

Ghana’s delegation made of players, technical staff and team officials left Morocco on Sunday evening and arrived in Accra early Monday morning.

The Black Meteors' Olympic Games qualification dream dashed following a 1-1 draw against Guinea in their final Group A game last Friday.

Ibrahim Tanko’s side needed a win to progress from the group stage but settled for a draw, leading to the team’s early elimination.

Emmanuel Yeboah's first-half opener was cancelled by a lovely volley from Guinea captain Ibrahim Fofona in the second-half.

The Guineans held on as they progressed to the semi-finals of the tournament while Ghana exit at the group stage of another tournament.

Meanwhile, the technical team led by Ibrahim Tanko is expected to submit their report to the Ghana FA Executive Council for assessment.

The Black Meteors has failed to qualify for the Olympic Games since 2004, Athens.
