The Management Committee Chairman, Frederick Acheampong has confirmed that the Black Meteors team has been dissolved after the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations exit.
In an interview with the sister station, the management Committee chairman emphasized that the technical team, the playing body and as well as the officials are currently dissolved.
“The team stands dissolved because we failed to qualify for the Olympic Games and we don’t have any tournaments coming up next year, This team was put together to qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and we failed to qualify so obviously, it will be dissolved,”.
Fred Acheampong further explained that, whether or not they will resume will be decided by the Ghana Football Association’s Executive Council.
“If Executive Council will discuss and consider another appointment or want the coach to continue, that will be in the powers of the Executive Council. I am not in the position to say whether they will continue or not because I don’t make the appointment in terms of the national teams. It is the decision of the Executive Council.” – he added
Ghana exited the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations at the group stage after an opening game victory over Congo, a 5-1 demolition at the hands of Morocco and a 1-1 draw against Guinea.
Ghana’s exit means that their dream of returning to the Olympic Games after their last visit in 2004 would have to wait at least four years longer.
