Forty-five-year-old Agyemang, a former footballer, in a riveting documentary blows the cover of footballers who age-cheat.
Age cheating is a common practice in African football. In fact some players are believed to have two ages, the football age and the real age.
The continent now dominates age “fixing” scandals reported to football’s world governing body FIFA. In the 2013 Under-17 championships, several players were found to be overage following a bone marrow scan that was done on them as a requirement for the competition. It’s no wonder that age-cheating has been described as the scourge of African football.
My name Benedict Owusu and in this edition of Hotline, I’ll be speaking to footballers, aspiring footballers, football analysts and doctors on why some sportsmen cheat.
