A minute silence will be observed when Ghana hosts Madagascar on Friday, November 17, to pay tribute to former Black Stars attacker Raphael Dwamena.
The forward died on Saturday, November 11, when he collapsed during a league match in Albania.
He had started for his club FK Egnatia in an Albanian Superliga match against KF Partizani.
During the first half of the game, Raphael Dwamena collapsed in the 24th minute and prompted the medical team on standby to take emergency action.
After he was rushed to the Kavaja hospital in an ambulance, he died as a result of a heart attack.
As a way of paying tribute to the late Ghana striker, the Ghana FA has secured clearance from FIFA for a minute silence to be observed when Ghana takes on Madagascar.
“As regards to program to honour Raphael Dwamena, we officially wrote to FIFA to seek approval and this afternoon, FIFA has positively responded to our request so tomorrow we shall have a one-minute silence in his honour before kickoff," GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum has revealed.
The game is a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification match in Group I.
The game is scheduled to kick off at 4 pm at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
