U23 Afcon: Debutants Ghana among title favourites - coach Tanko

Ghana coach Ibrahim Tanko believes his outfit are in good position to win the U23 Africa Cup of Nations on their first time of asking.

On their maiden qualification for the continental championship since its inception in 2011, the Black Meteors have been drawn against hosts Egypt, Cameroon and Mali for next month's tournament.

The top three teams at the event will represent Africa at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan.

“We have a good chance of winning the tournament," Tanko told Kwese Free Sports.
