The Black Meteors of Ghana are set to jet off the shores of Ghana today to Maputo for their Africa U23 Championship qualifier against Mozambique this weekend.
The fourth-placed side in the last edition were handed a walkover in the first qualifying round and will now have to come off as the better side over the Mambas who also eliminated Mauritius in the first phase with a 5-1 on aggregate victory.
Coach Ibrahim Tanko's men have been in camp for over a month now at the Ghana Soccer Center of Excellence in Prampram, and are looking really poised and ready for the epic clash coming up.
The team tested their strength with a friendly against topflight side Dreams FC and humbled them smoothly with a 2-1 triumph at the Ohene Gyan Stadium and will hope to build on that momentum in their subsequent games.
The team is set to depart the Kotoka International airport today as they look to make it to the next U23 Championship once again and subsequently qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games.
The first leg is scheduled for Sunday, October 23, 2022 at the Estadio Nacional do Zimpeto in the capital, Maputo.
