Ghana to face DR Congo in final round of U23 AFCON qualifiers

Date:

Ghana and DR Congo will clash in the final round of U23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

The winner of the tie will advance to the tournament’s 2023 edition, which will also serve as a qualifier for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

The games will be played in March 2023, with the tournament set to place in Morocco in June.

Black Meteors reached this stage after a 4-1 aggregate victory over Mozambique. Hearts of Oak striker Daniel Afriyie Barnieh scored three penalties in the two legs as Ghana progressed.
