That will be on the minds of Ghana’s Black Meteors as a semifinal meeting with La Côte d’Ivoire in the ongoing U-23 AFCON tournament is confirmed for Tuesday. The Black Meteors needed a heroic away victory in North Africa to book a slot at this AFCON, and once there, faced a new set of challenges. Ghana- who have not been at the Olympic Games football event since 2004 - face their westerly neighbours in Tuesday’ semi at 2100 CAT (1900 GMT) knowing that a win gains them an automatic place at next year’s Games in Tokyo. The two finalists at this AFCON, plus the third-placed finisher will also represent the continent in Japan.
