AFCON Qualification: Ghana U-23 step up training ahead of decisive Libya encounter

Ghana’s Black Meteors have intensified their preparations for the decisive second-leg encounter against Libya in the CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, following a training session at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday.

Head coach Desmond Ofei took charge of the session as the team continued its preparations for Monday’s crucial showdown, with qualification hopes hanging in the balance.

The Ghanaian side will enter the return fixture needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit after suffering a narrow defeat to Libya at the Benina Martyrs Stadium in Benghazi on Wednesday, November 11, 2026.

With a place in the final qualifying round up for grabs, the Black Meteors must secure a victory to keep their hopes of reaching the tournament alive. The winner of the two-legged tie will advance to face Niger for a place at the 2027 CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Ghana are determined to return to the continental competition as part of their broader ambition to secure a place at the Olympic Games football tournament for the first time in more than two decades.

The Black Meteors last featured at the Olympics in 2004 and will be hoping to end that long absence by qualifying for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, USA.
