Following a spectacular comeback in Abidjan, where they secured a 6-2 victory against Cote D’Ivoire in the 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Ghana’s Futsal national team has returned home. Despite a challenging 4-0 deficit from the first leg in Cape Coast, Ghana defied the odds and will now compete in the upcoming AFCON tournament in Rabat, Morocco.

The upcoming appearance marks the Futsal team’s return to the Africa Cup of Nations since 1996, where they lost to Egypt in the final. In recognition of their achievement, President Simeon-Okraku visited the team to extend his congratulations and ensure continuous support from the Ghana Football Association (GFA) during their preparations for the tournament.

President Simeon-Okraku expressed pride in the team’s resilience, stating, ”We are very proud of you and will do anything to support you during your preparation and participation in the tournament in Morocco.” Despite the initial setback of losing the first leg at home, he commended the team for their unity, determination, and character in achieving a remarkable victory in Abidjan.

”I am super proud of you and wish to congratulate you on making it to the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco,” he added.

The 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled to take place in Rabat, Morocco, from April 8 to 17, 2024. The top three teams from the tournament will secure qualification for the 2024 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Uzbekistan as representatives of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
