According to Frederick Acheampong, the Chairman of the Black Meteors Management Committee, the Ghanaian U-23 team will play two high-profile friendly games before the 2023 U-23 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Black Meteors have already qualified for the tournament, which will be held in Morocco from June 24 to July 8, 2023, after beating Mozambique and Algeria in the qualifiers.
The Ghana Football Association (FA) is currently discussing the arrangements for the friendly games as part of the team’s preparations, and Acheampong has confirmed that they will make it public once the details are confirmed.
“In between that, we are looking to play some international friendlies. A minimum of two matches before we enter the tournament. If anything is confirmed, we would make it public,” said Frederick Acheampong in an interview with Citi sports.
Meanwhile, Ghana and Mali have been confirmed in Pot 1 for the group stage draw of the tournament. Morocco and Egypt, the host nation and holders, respectively, have been seeded, while Gabon, Congo, Guinea, and Niger have been placed in Pot 2.
