Ghana's Black Meteors have intensified preparations for their crucial two-legged qualifying encounter against Libya as they seek to secure a place at the 2027 CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations.
Head coach Desmond Ofei and his technical team held another training session on Monday, November 9, at the Al Hilal Sports Complex in Benghazi, with the squad focused on Wednesday's first-leg encounter.
Having settled into their training camp in Libya, the team is working to sharpen its tactical approach, improve coordination and build cohesion ahead of the challenging away fixture.
Ofei will be counting on a disciplined and confident performance from his players when they face the hosts at the Benghazi International Stadium on Wednesday, November 11.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 7 pm local time, equivalent to 5 pm in Ghana, with the Black Meteors hoping to secure a positive result to strengthen their chances of progressing to the next qualifying round.
Ghana will host Libya in the return fixture at the Accra Sports Stadium on Tuesday, November 17, where the team will look to capitalise on home advantage to seal qualification.
Progression over the two legs would see the Black Meteors advance to the next qualifying round, where they could face either Equatorial Guinea or Niger.
Ghana entered the second preliminary round with a first-round bye in the three-stage qualification process.
The 2027 CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations will feature eight teams, with seven nations expected to join tournament hosts Egypt.
The Black Meteors will be hoping to secure qualification and return to the continental stage as they pursue another opportunity to compete for honours in African youth football.
