U23 AFCON: Black Meteors defender Edmund Arko-Mensah sends important message to Ghanaians ahead of Guinea's make-or-break clash

Ghana’s Black Meteors have their destiny stuck in their own hands when they face Guinea in a make-or-break affair at the ongoing U23 African Cup of Nations in Morocco.

The Black Meteors 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.

“The important message I would like to tell them is to believe in us because it is not over yet. I think with their prayers and support would help us win against Guinea” 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.
