STOP USING OVER-AGE PLAYERS FOR COMPETITIONS – Dr. NYAHO TAMAKLOE
Former Ghana Football Association chairman, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has attributed Ghana’s disappointing exit from the 2022 African Nations Championship tournament to using over-aged players.
The Black Galaxies were ousted from the ongoing CHAN following a 2-0 defeat to Niger on Saturday in the quarter-finals.
It is a step back from their last participation eight years ago when the team reached the finals and eventually lost to Libya on penalties.
In an interview, Dr. Nyaho Tamakloe expressed that the ages of our players are very far from footballing and until we select players with real age for the tournament, we will be left behind.
“There is one thing we must get clear. Until we get our age right, we shall always lack behind “.
“If you watch carefully, our players were older than our opponents and I can say with confidence that 75 percent of our players were more than 35 years old.
“Modern football is about speed and stamina if you don’t have it, forget about it and the younger ones are those who can do that.” — he added
The Black Galaxies contingent is expected back in the country by the close of this week
