U23 AFCON: Goalkeeper Jordan Amissah saddened by Black Meteors early elimination at tournament

Published on: 02 July 2023

Black Meteors goalkeeper Jordan Amissah is perplexed by his outfit failure to secure qualification from the group stage at the ongoing U23 AFCON tournament in Morocco.

The Ghana U23 team Olympic Games qualification dream took a nosedive 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 to the semifinals 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.

"Sad to see our AFCON journey end so soon and in this manner but we all take a valuable lesson from this experience and hope to bounce back stronger," he wrote on Twitter.

Amissah did not play a part at the tournament as Kotoko's Danlad Ibrahim was Ibrahim Tanko's preferred choice.

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