The Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Mark Addo has entreated the Black Meteors to remain committed throughout the upcoming U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament to be held in Morroco.
The team departed today to Egypt to continue with their preparations ahead of the crucial competitions which present an opportunity for them to bounce back to the Olympic Games having missed out for the past 19 years.
Before setting off, Mark Addo admonished them to make Ghana proud while lauding them for their recent achieving qualification to the tournament.
“I want to congratulate this team for what you have accomplished so far.
“If you want your names written in history this is the time. Always have the mentality that we are not going to Morocco to participate. You must go there and add your names to history,” Mark Addo told the Black Meteors.
“The whole country will be supporting you and will be yearning for something special from you.”
Black Stars players, Enerst Nuamah, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer are expected to join the team after Ghana’s AFCON qualifier with Madagascar on Sunday.
As part of the preparations, the team is expected to engage their Egyptian counterparts in a pre-tournament friendly with a few more to come as they prepare for tough opponents in Morocco, the hosts, Congo and Guinea.
The tournament kicks off on June 24 and ends on July 8.
