The Ghanaians triumphed with a 5-2 win in the second leg, sealing the aggregate score at 10-5 in their favour.
This victory ensures the Black Sharks’ place among the seven qualifying teams set to compete in the upcoming tournament.
They will join the host nation, Egypt, for the sixth edition of the CAF Beach Soccer AFCON, which will be held in Egypt for the second time.
The country previously hosted the third edition in the coastal city of Sharm El Sheikh in 2018.
The 2022 edition of the tournament, held in Mozambique, saw Senegal emerge as champions, claiming their fourth consecutive title.
