Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to focus on developing local players for the Black Stars, particularly in light of the team's disappointing performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

Currently sitting third in Group F with just two points from two draws and two defeats, Ghana's chances of qualifying for the tournament in Morocco next year are in jeopardy.

Following a 2-0 defeat to Sudan, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe believes the time has come for the GFA to invest in nurturing homegrown talent for the national team.

"We have good players in the country, and if we can camp them for three months and provide the right training, we will see significant results from these local players for the Black Stars," the experienced administrator stated during an interview with Asempa FM.

He emphasized the need for the GFA to be intentional in this initiative, expressing confidence that it could be beneficial for the country's football development.

As the Black Stars prepare for their final Group F matches against Niger and Angola next month, they will need to secure victories in both games and rely on Sudan to drop points in their remaining fixtures to keep their qualification hopes alive.
