Black Meteors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

No Ghanaian\u00a0player earned a place in the best eleven of the group stage of the ongoing 2023\u00a0U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.<\/p>\n

Ghana, who were on a quest to secure a place in the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, recorded a 3-2 victory over Congo but\u00a0succumbed to a 5-1 defeat to hosts Morocco.<\/p>\n

The Black Meteors needed a win to make it to the last four of the tournament but were held to a 1-1 draw against Guinea in their final group game.<\/p>\n

With four points from three games, the Black Meteors exited the campaign in the group stages and subsequently missed out on the 2024 Olympic Games to be held in Paris.<\/p>\n

Following the conclusion of the group games, the technical team of CAF has named the best XI of the group stage.<\/p>\n

Despite the Meteors\u2019 abysmal display,\u00a0Emmanuel Yeboah scored three goals but missed out in the team.<\/p>\n

The team is\u00a0largely dominated by players from Morocco and Egypt.<\/p>\n

In post is Egypt\u2019s Hamza Hussein who produced outstanding performances to keep three clean sheets.<\/p>\n

Morocco\u2019s Mehdi Boukamir, Abdelsalam from Egypt, and Mali\u2019s Ibrahima Cisse formed the back three in a 3-4-3 formation.<\/p>\n

In midfield, Ismael Saibari from Morocco and Ibrahim Mohamed from Egypt were ably supported by the Malian duo of Fode Doucoure and Cheickna Diakite as wingbacks.<\/p>\n

Completing the front three are Egypt\u2019s Osama Abdelhady and Morocco\u2019s duo of Yanis Begraoui and Abdessamad Ezzalzouli.<\/p>\n

Morocco\u2019s Issam Charai was named the Best Coach for guiding his\u00a0side to three victories.<\/p>\n
