US Cremonese striker Felix Afena-Gyan was among the foreign-based players invited to the Black Meteors – U-23 team by Head Coach Ibrahim Tanko for the 2023 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualifiers double-header against Algeria.

However, Afena Gyan reluctantly opted not to feature for the Ghana U-23 team in the final qualification round, despite the traveling ticket sent to him by the country’s football governing body.

“It was never true that Felix Afena Gyan wasn’t invited to the U-23 team. He was among the ten foreign-based players but he declined the invitation from the GFA.”

According to sources from “Listowell Mensah at Angel Sports; Coach Ibrahim Tanko won’t call Felix Afena -Gyan for this coming U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, which serves as qualifying for the 2024 Olympic Games. The tournament will take place in Morocco on 24 June – 8 July this year”.

” Things might change, but for now, he won’t be part of the Black Meteors squad.

8 foreign-based and 15 Ghanaian-based players will camp in Egypt en route to Morocco”.

The top three teams from the tournament will qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics Men’s football tournament in Paris.
