— Says Ghana and Nigeria should be playing at CHAN
Coach of Ghana’s Black Galaxies, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani has criticized the Confederation of African Football, CAF over the draws for the African Nations Championship, CHAN which pitched Ghana against Nigeria in the qualifiers.
The Black Galaxies lost to Nigeria’s Super Eagles B squad in the 2025 CHAN qualification on a 3-1 aggregate following the first leg 0-0 in Accra.
In slamming CAF, Dramani said that both countries are among the best on the continent and ought to be playing in the tournament rather than against one another.
“Nigeria and Ghana meeting at this stage is an issue CAF must address. It’s important for the body to critically examine this and come up with a format that ensures the best for the continent.”
Speaking on the 3-1 loss last Saturday at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, Dramani said the Nigerian side showed more hunger to win than his team.
“Nigeria showed much more hunger and did a lot of running. We gave away some key moments in the game, which turned out to be disastrous for us.
“After the first goal, the second can drain the strength and energy of a team because of the manner it was scored — not to mention the third goal. At that point, any team could lose its steam”, he stressed.
