Former Ghana U-17 coach, Samuel Paa Kwesi Fabin believes the introduction of MRI scan is the reason for the country's inability to win a youth World Cup.

Ghana last won a FIFA youth tournament in 2009, after the Black Satellites defeated Brazil on penalties in Cairo to lift Africa's first ever U-20 world cup.

Fabin, who has been the coach of the Black Starlets three times disclosed that Ghana's failure to win the World Cup is because of the introduction of the Magnetic resonance imaging.

"I managed the Under 17 for 3 times but couldn't win a medal at the world cup,' he told Ash FM sports. "I think the introduction of the MRI test is also part of the reason why we couldn't win any medal at the world cup."

The former Asante Kotoko gaffer's last stint with the national U-17 team was in 2017 when he led the Black Starlets to second place at the Africa U-17 championship and the quarter-finals of the World Cup in India.
