Egypt has been selected to host the 2027 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations, with the continental tournament scheduled to take place in November 2027. The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is expected to announce the qualifying pairings ahead of the start of the campaign. This means only the finalists of the 2027 U-23 AFCON are expected to qualify for the Olympic football tournament. The Black Meteors have not featured at the men’s Olympic football tournament since the 2004 Athens Games. Ghana won a bronze medal at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, becoming the first African country to win an Olympic football medal.
