Black Meteors assistant coach, Godwin Attram is confident the team can battle stiffer North African opposition in the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations after facing Algeria in the qualifiers.
Ghana plays in the U-23 Afcon in Morocco with hopes of qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games.
“Now, it is the main tournament commencing in June and the target is to qualify to France for the Olympic Games in 2024.”
“Of the eight countries, I think that the tough opponents are Egypt (defending champions) and Morocco, the host nation.
“I am sure with the pairings, one will fall under category A and the other in B. If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best, I don’t think we are panicking to face these countries.”
Attram continued: “Playing against Algeria has already giving us a fair idea of what is to come at the tournament proper.
“For me, as an experienced player I played in the Middle East and in North Africa, so I know how they operate.
“I believe if we the technical team work on a united front together with the players at the Afcon in Morocco, we will be able to sail through and qualify for the Olympics in Paris.”
Ghana missed out in the 2020 Olympic Games after finishing fourth in the 2019 U-23 Afcon.
