  "account": "Ghana's Black Meteors football team will face Libya in the second qualifying round of the upcoming TotalEnergies CAF U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, scheduled to take place in Egypt in 2027. The two teams will play two matches, one in each country, between November 9 and 17, 2026. Libya qualified for the second round after winning their preliminary stage match against Togo 4-1 on aggregate. They drew 1-1 with Togo in Lomé before beating them 3-0 at home. Ghana, on the other hand, received a direct entry into the second round and will kick off their qualification campaign against Libya. If Ghana advances, they will face either Equatorial Guinea or Niger in the final qualifying round, set to occur from March 22 to 30, 2027. The three-round qualification process will determine the seven teams that will join hosts Egypt at the eight-team U-23 AFCON finals. Achieving qualification would also present Ghana with an opportunity to return to the Olympics, as the Black Meteors last competed in the men's Olympic football tournament at the 2004 Athens Games.",
