U-23 AFCON Qualifiers: Black Meteors coach Ibrahim Tanko wants Kamaldeen, Fatawu Issahaku and Afena-Gyan for DR Congo clash

Black Meteors coach Ibrahim Tanko says he is willing to invite foreign-based players to complement his squad ahead of the DR Congo clash in the U-23 AFCON qualifiers.

The Black Meteors won 4-1 on aggregate after the second leg ended 2-0 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday to set DR Congo tie in the final round of the qualifiers.

Speaking at the post-match conference, Coach Ibrahim Tanko indicated he is looking forward to inviting players abroad who qualify to play for the team.

 

“Every player who is playing outside the country and is a Ghanaian qualifies for this team why not”, he said at the post-match conference.

“We want what is best for the country.  It is not only about the local players but the foreign players. We just want to have a very good side both foreign and local. There is going to a mix and hope we qualify to the AFCON”.

“We have Fatawu Issahaku, Felix Afena-Gyan, Kamaldeen Sulemana and they all qualify for this team. Those who played in the Ghana U20 are also there”.

“We are waiting for any opponent and we just prepare ourselves. Our target is the Olympics but we must first qualify to Africa’
