Fatawu Issahaku is proud after inspiring Black Meteors to qualify for the 2023 CAF U23 AFCON.
Ghana booked a ticket to the continental showpiece which is scheduled to be hosted by Morocco following a 1-0 win over Algeria in Kumasi on Tuesday.
Issahaku’s header in the first half at the Baba Yara Stadium ensured Ghana progressed 2-1 on aggregate.
The first leg which was played in Annaba last friday ended 1-1 with the Sporting Lisbon star scoring a beauty from long range.
“It’s always a pleasure and honour to fight for the nation; now going back to my club to continue the journey. Thank you, Ghana & Kumasi” he wrote on Instagram page after the game.
Ghana have another opportunity to compete for a slot to play at the 2024 Summer Olympics which will staged in Paris.
The West African giants missed an Olympic Games ticket narrowly in 2019 after losing on penalties to Ivory Coast in the semi-finals of the last U23 AFCON.
