'''Ghana U23 football team''' (also known as '''Ghana Olympic football team''' or '''Black Meteors'''), represents [[Ghana]] in international [[association football|football]] competitions in [[Olympic Games]], [[All-Africa Games]], and [[CAF U-23 Championship]]. The selection is limited to players aged 23 and under the age of 23, except during the Olympic Games where the use of three overage players is allowed. The team is controlled by the [[Ghana Football Association]] (GFA).

The team had qualified for five straight [[Football at the Summer Olympics|Olympic Games Football Tournaments]] when the tournament was still a full senior national team competition. In [[Football at the 1992 Summer Olympics|1992]], they became the first African country to win a [[Bronze medal|medal]] at Olympic Games football. The ''Black Meteors'' failed to qualify for [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics|Beijing 2008]] and although being the [[Football at the 2011 All-Africa Games – Men's tournament|2011 All-Africa Games]] champions, the Ghana Olympic football team failed to qualify for the [[2011 CAF U-23 Championship]], thus did not participate in [[Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics|London 2012]].<ref>[http://www.ghanafa.org/ Ghana Football Association]. www.ghanafa.org.</ref>

==History==
Ghana appeared in the quarter-final of the Olympic Games in [[1964 Summer Olympics|1964]] where they were beaten by [[Romania national football team|Romania]] in the quarter-final. They played in the [[1968 Summer Olympics|1968]], [[1972 Summer Olympics|1972]] Olympic tournaments, but never progressed further than the Group stages. They also qualified in [[1976 Summer Olympics|1976]] then withdrew.

In [[1992 Summer Olympics|1992]], Ghana reached the semi-final for the first time, they defeated Australia 2-0 to claim their first bronze medal in the event, and thus became the first African country to win a [[Bronze medal|medal]] at football.

Ghana reached the quarter-finals of the [[Summer Olympic Games|Olympics]] football tournament in [[Football at the 1996 Summer Olympics|1996]] for the second time, they lost 4–2 against Brazil.

In the [[Football at the 2004 Summer Olympics|Athens 2004]] tournament Ghana were eliminated in the Group stages after they lost a must win game 1–0 against Japan. The team were not able to qualify for [[Football at the 2008 Summer Olympics|Beijing 2008]] and [[Football at the 2012 Summer Olympics|London 2012]].
