Ghana's Beach Soccer team, the Black Sharks, have secured qualification to the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt after an emphatic 5-2 victory over Ivory Coast in Abidjan.

The Black Sharks picked one of the tickets for the continental showpiece after a 10-5 aggregate win over their West African neighbours.

Ghana travelled to Abidjan with a 5-3 first-leg win but was down by two goals to one after the first period of their encounter in the Ivorian capital.

However, a strong second-half display ensured Ghana ended the game with victory and qualified for AFCON.

Wise Nyamadi levelled the scores in the second half before captain Alex Osah gave the Black Sharks the lead for the first time in the match.

Late goals from Precious Torgbor and Jude Akile sealed the win for Ghana.
