Head coach of the Ghanaian U-23 national football team, the Black Meteors, Ibrahim Tanko, has invited 22 local-based players to commence their training camp on Tuesday, May 23 at the Ghanaman Centre of Excellence in Prampram as they prepare for the upcoming U-23 Africa Cup of Nations in June.
The players who were selected from the Ghanaian top flight, as well as the lower tier, are expected to report at 3 pm on Tuesday, signaling the start of their intensive training program.
Placed in Group A of the U-23 AFCON, the Black Meteors will face tough competition against host nation Morocco, Guinea, and Congo.

Ibrahim Tanko’s men secured qualification to the tournament after a great display in a two-legged encounter led to a 2-1 aggregate victory over Algeria in the final round of qualifiers.
