Jordan Ayew expresses gratitude to Ghanaian fans, vows to secure World Cup Qualification
Ghana captain Jordan Ayew has penned an emotional letter of appreciation to football fans for their unflinching support in the recent FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
The Leicester City forward, who scored against Chad and provided a hat-trick of assists in the 3-0 win over Madagascar on Monday, expressed his gratitude to the fans for their unwavering support.
Ayew believes the players will do everything within their power to qualify Ghana to yet another World Cup following a disastrous Africa Cup of Nations campaign in 2024.
Here’s what he said:
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and all the clubs participating in this weekend’s competitions will pay special tribute in honour of the memory of the late Dominic Frimpong of Berekum Chelsea FC (on loan from Aduana FC).
The GFA has in a statement announced that all the players and team officials of the 6 clubs playing this weekend competitions will wear black armbands on their jerseys as a mark of respect during their respective matches.
In addition, a minute of silence will be observed before the commencement of each game in his honour. This tribute will take place during the MTN FA Cup semi-final matches as well as the Women’s Premier League final scheduled for this weekend.
“The GFA counts on the full cooperation of all clubs and the fans in respectfully observing these arrangements as we collectively pay tribute to Dominic Frimpong,” the statement added.
The FA expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their understanding and support in these times.
