Ibrahim Tanko, the head coach of the Black Meteors, is optimistic that Ghana would defeat Algeria in the first leg of their U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday night.

The last round of the AFCON qualifiers, which will take place later this year in Morocco, pits Ghana against Algeria.

Despite calling up 26, Tanko now has 25 players in camp due to Felix Afena-Gyan declining a late invitation to the team.

The coach was upbeat about the Meteors’ chances against their rivals when he spoke to the Ghana Football Association’s media team after their final practice in Annaba, Algeria.

“Those who are here are 100% committed and I have confidence in them that they can deliver,” he said.

“It’s a new team not like the last time but we also have a very good team here. We have some foreign-based players who are okay with the weather and we hope that the players will deliver.”

The game is slated to begin at 21:00 GMT.
