Ghana Stuns Cote d’Ivoire with a 6-2 Victory, Secures Futsal Africa Cup of Nations Qualification

In a remarkable turn of events, the Ghanaian Futsal national team secured a spot in the 2024 Futsal Africa Cup of Nations by defeating Cote d’Ivoire with an impressive 6-2 win on Friday.

Facing the challenge of overturning a 4-0 deficit from the first leg in Cape Coast, Coach Philip Boakye implemented a tactical variation in the second leg, yielding rewarding results for the Ghanaian team. The decisive victory in Abidjan allowed Ghana to qualify for the Futsal Africa Cup of Nations through the away goal rule, overcoming the 4-0 loss at the University of Cape Coast Hall in the previous week.

Ghana’s qualification ensures their participation in the upcoming edition of the Futsal Africa Cup of Nations in Rabat, Morocco. This marks the Futsal team’s return to the competition since 1996 when they reached the final but lost to Egypt.

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