Former Chairman of the Ghana Football Association, Dr.Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has cited aging as the reason why the Black Galaxies failed to advance past the quarter-finals of the ongoing CHAN 2022.

The Black Galaxies were surprisingly knocked out Ghana of the CHAN tournament following a 2-0 defeat to Niger in Oran on Saturday.

This spate of age cheating prompted Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe to wade into the recent phenomenon that our players couldn’t keep up with their opponents’ pace and stamina.

“I can say that our biggest problem is age cheating. We have been doing it for years and we are now seeing the effect. Modern football is about speed and stamina and the younger ones are those who can do that,” he added

“75 percent of our players are definitely 35 years plus. I’m telling you and we can verify that using the MRI scan. They look even old if you look at them in the face.”

“Look at the various countries who participated in the tournament, even in our game against Niger we looked older than them and it showed in the performance. Let’s look at this age of cheating carefully and put a stop to it.” he told Asempa FM.

Ghana lost their opening game to Madagascar, won against Sudan, and got a pass over Morocco but fell to Niger in the quarter-finals duel in Algeria.
