The football community in Ghana has been rocked by the terrible death of Black Stars attacker Raphael Dwamena.
On Saturday, November 11, the 28-year-old was pronounced dead after losing consciousness in the 23rd minute of a league match between his team Egnatia and Partizan and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
Dwamena, on the other hand, died shortly after arriving at the hospital, resulting in a terrible situation.
The Albanian Football Association announced his death minutes later in a statement.
“The Albanian Football Federation expresses deep sorrow for the tragedy that occurred today during the 13th-week match of the ‘Abissnet Superiore,’ Egnatia-Partizani,” the statement said.
“Footballer Raphael Dwamena lost consciousness during the match, and after the initial medical intervention on the field, he was transported to the hospital by ambulance. Despite immediate intervention by specialist doctors and all subsequent efforts to revive him, unfortunately, the footballer has passed away.
“AFBF extends its deepest condolences to the Dwamena family and the Egnatia club for this great loss, an event that has shocked the entire Albanian football community.
“The Football Federation announces that all scheduled matches for this weekend in all football championships in Albania will be postponed to a later date.”
Former and present senior national team players have paid respect to Dwamena upon the revelation of his death.
