The Black Meteors are set to play either Ethiopia or Algeria in the last round of the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

This comes after the Disciplinary Board of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) disqualified DR Congo from the qualifiers for fielding an unqualified player in matches against Ethiopia and Algeria.

According to a statement from CAF, ”DR Congo was supposed to play against Ghana in the 3rd and last round of the qualifiers. But the Disciplinary Board’s decision means Ethiopia & Algeria shall play a play-off round from home & away matches and the winner will play against Ghana in the 3rd round”.

The first leg is scheduled for 8 to 9 March while the second leg takes place on the weekend of 12 to 13, March.

Meanwhile, Head Coach of the Black Meteors, Ibrahim Tanko has invited Twenty-four players for camping at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence at Prampram on Monday.

Coach Tanko and his lads are seeking to book a ticket into this year’s TotalEnergies U-23 Africa Cup of Nations which will take place in Morocco.
