Former Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) chairman, Alhaji Ali Raji, has described home-based players as possessing “very low quality,” which he believes has negatively impacted the nation's performance in youth competitions.

Ghana has not featured at the U-17 World Cup since 2017 and failed to qualify for the last U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, despite winning the tournament in 2021 - but secured a spot for next year's edition.

The country's home-based squad was also eliminated in the qualifiers for the African Nations Championship (CHAN) by Nigeria.

"I am being honest with you, the quality is very low,” Raji said in an interview with Asempa FM.

"From the U-17, U-20, U-23, CHAN team, the quality is very low.

"The coaches have not shown any potential to change a very low quality players into very good players, they have not exhibited it.

"These present Hearts of Oak players, some will not get the chance to play in Auroras. Present Kumasi Asante Kotoko players cannot be part of Anokye Stars.”
