Vice President of Ghana Football Association, Mr. Mark Addo has edged the Black Meteors on, ahead of the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations which starts later this month and also charged them to go and make themselves and the nation proud.
Coach Ibrahim Tanko and his charges opened camp last week and have engaged in series of training sessions and some other friendlies to get themselves well poised and prepared for upcoming tourney.
The team departed Ghana yesterday en route to Egypt for pre- tournament tour before they head to Morocco for the main competition.
The first batch will arrived in Cairo on Monday evening with the second batch also expected to arrive later on today.
Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ransford-Yeboah Koniigsdoffer who are part of the Black Stars squad for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Madagascar will join the Black Meteors camp in Cairo after the match on June 18, 2023.
Speaking to the entire team before they left, Mark Addo has thrown a challenge to the players to add themselves to the country's history book as they look to secure qualification to the 2024 Olympic Games.
"I want to congratulate this team for what you have accomplished so far."
“If you want your names written in history this is the time. Always have the mentality that we are not going to Morocco to participate. You must go there and add your names to history,” Mark Addo told the Black Meteors.
“The whole country will be supporting you and will be yearning for something special from you.”
The Black Meteors will take on their Egyptian counterparts in a pre-tournament friendly on June 15 and will play another opponent on June 19 before the team leaves Cairo to Morocco.
