Kaizer Chiefs goal keeper Itumeleng Isaac Khune has been through a lot of things , almost every 2 months we see him in news . This tells you how important he is so good and bad things are written about him and it is very difficult for him to deal will all of this . According to wekipedia “Age fraud is age fabrication or the use of false documentation to gain an advantage over opponents. In football, it is common amongst players belonging to nations where records are not easily verifiable. The media often refer to the player with false documentation as an “age-cheat”.
There are several reasons why players choose to use false documentation. European scouts are looking for young talented players from poorer counties to sign for a European club. The players know that there is a lesser chance of being signed if they are, for example, 23 years old as opposed to 17 years old as there would be less time for the club to develop the player.
Age fabrication also allows an older player to enter in youth competitions. FIFA says that “over-age players have been wrongly entered into various youth competitions, often benefiting from an unfair advantage due to their greater physical maturity compared to players of the proper age.”[1]
In some cases, it is possible for the player not to know their own date of birth and make an approximate guess when it comes to gaining official documents.”
Some people who hates Khune they were on his case saying that he is older than the official age because of one of his pictures he put on social media . If you read what wekipedia wrote about age-cheat there is nothing which connect Khune to that in real life .In South Africa there have been less cases about age fabrication.
Itumeleng Isaac Khune was born 20 June 1987 so this means he is 32 .
