GFA dissolves Black Meteors technical team after ‘abysmal’ U23 AFCON showdown

Management Committee member of Ghana’s U23 side Fredrick Acheampong, has confirmed that the technical team of the Black Meteors has been dissolved in the wake of their failure to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games.

The Black Meteors of Ghana were eliminated at the U23 African Cup of Nations, which serves as a qualification tournament for the Olympic Games in Paris.

The team was unable to progress past the group stages and secure one of the three available slots.

Following their exit from the U23 AFCON, Acheampong announced that the Black Meteors team has been disbanded.

The decision regarding the recall of the technical teams will ultimately rest with the GFA Executive Committee.

“This team was formed for the purpose of the Olympic Games. It will be the decision of the Executive Council for the coach to continue. I am not in the position to say that he will continue or not.

“The team has been dissolved because this was for the Olympic Games and we didn’t qualify,” Fredrick Acheampong told 3FM.

Ghana has not qualified for the Olympic Games football tournament since 2004.
