The late Ghanaian player Raphael Dwamena’s father, Patrick Amoako Sefa, has addressed the family’s continued difficulty in absorbing the loss.
“We’ve been in a state of sorrow since receiving the news, but we rely on our faith to provide us with strength,” he said in an interview with Accra’s Peace FM.
Sefa disclosed that preparations are in the works to return Dwamena’s remains for burial, and the family expects to seek support from both the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the government to make the process go as smoothly as possible.
“We’ve spoken with his wife, who mentioned arranging for a flight to return his body to Ghana.” “We are requesting the GFA and the public’s help in this difficult time,” he stated emphatically.
Sefa also asked Ghanaians to remember the family in their prayers at this trying time.
On Saturday, November 11, the 28-year-old player died suddenly after suffering a heart arrest during a league game.
Dwamena fell in the 23rd minute of his team’s match against Partizan. He was rushed to the hospital and proclaimed dead upon arrival.
