Black Meteors Chief Frederick Acheampong says the team’s preparations for the U-23 Afcon will not focus on North African nations.
Ghana’s U-23 national team will be playing at the tournament in Morocco and will either face the hosts or Egypt in their group.
For Acheampong, Black Meteors will not focus on North African games ahead of the competition.
“There are only two North African teams that qualified for the tournament, the rest are drawn from different parts of Africa,” he said in an interview with Citi Sports.
“We don’t only have to concentrate on North Africa; we also need to engage others from different parts of Africa because they are also participating.
“Our aim is to qualify [for the 2024 Olympics Games] and we will draw one North African team.
“The rest would not come from North Africa and we might lose out if we focus mainly on them.”
The tournament will commence on June 24 and end on July 8 with three automatic slots available for the Olympics.
