The goal of the Black Meteors at the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, according to head coach Ibrahim Tanko, is to earn a spot in the 2024 Olympic Games.
According to him, the Black Meteors’ primary goal is to secure a spot in Paris 2024, but they will not turn down the chance to win the championship if they reach the final.
Following their 2-1 aggregate victory against Algeria in March, Ghana qualified for the AFCON and was assigned to Group A of the competition, which will take place in Morocco and begin on June 24.
“The target is to qualify to the Olympic games but there’s also a trophy at stake so we are going for the ultimate and in doing so we want to qualify for the Olympic games,” he told the Ghana Football Association.
“We are here to do our job and the best for the nation but we also need the support of Ghanaians.”
The Black Meteors are drawn against Morocco, Congo and Guinea in Group A and will face Congo in their opening game on Sunday, June 25.
