A board member of Accra Hearts of Oak, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, has stated that the Black Galaxies have been eliminated from the 2022 Championship of African Nations (CHAN) due to the old age of the players.
According to the outspoken football administrator, the majority of the players that represented the country have passed their prime and are now over 35 years old.
In an interview with Accra-based Asempa FM, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe emphasized "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.
"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
Ghana's performance in the 2022 CHAN tournament was nothing to write home about: they lost 2-1 to Madagascar in their first group game, defeated Sudan 3-1 in their second group game before being kicked out at the quarterfinal after a 2-0 defeat to Niger.
