Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, a former midfielder of the Black Stars, shared his thoughts on the untimely passing of Raphael Dwamena. He described it as a difficult event that had to be acknowledged.
In an interview with Citi Sports at Dwamena's funeral, Agyemang-Badu shared how hard the loss of Dwamena was for him and others.
Dwamena, who died from a heart condition while playing for Egnatia in Albania, had a promising career. Despite scoring two goals in nine appearances for the Black Stars, his career was cut short due to the heart ailment.
Brighton and Hove Albion had to cancel his contract due to this condition, which required him to wear a defibrillator.
Reflecting on Dwamena's life and career, Agyemang-Badu expressed his sorrow, stating, "The feeling is not that great for us. It's not. This is not what we want but…it’s life whichever way it comes, very tough but we need to accept it."
Dwamena's goals for the Black Stars came in a 5-0 victory over Ethiopia. His passing is a significant loss to the football community.
