Ghana’s Black Meteors have intensified preparations for Wednesday’s CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya, as head coach Desmond Ofei fine-tunes his squad ahead of the first-leg encounter in Benghazi.

The Ghanaian side held a training session on Monday, November 9, 2026, at the Al Hila Sports Complex in Benghazi, with Ofei and his technical team working to sharpen the team's tactical organisation and address key areas ahead of the showdown.

The gaffer will be counting on his players to deliver a disciplined and determined performance when they face their Libyan counterparts at the Benghazi International Stadium on Wednesday, November 11.

Kick-off is scheduled for 7pm local time (5pm Ghana time), with Ghana targeting a positive first-leg result to strengthen their chances of progressing in the qualification campaign.

The return leg is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at the Accra Sports Stadium, where the Black Meteors will have the opportunity to complete the job in front of their home supporters.

The winner of the two-legged contest will advance to the next qualifying round to face either Equatorial Guinea or Niger in the race for a place at the 2027 CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ghana received a bye in the first round of the three-stage qualification series, with seven nations expected to join hosts Egypt for the eight-team continental tournament.
