President Simeon-Okraku, Stephen Appiah visit Alidu Seidu in Rennes
President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku and Stephen Appiah, Vice Chairman of the Black Stars Management Committee, paid a heartwarming visit to injured defender Alidu Seidu at Rennes.
The visit demonstrates the strong bond within the football community, where leaders and icons rally around their own in times of need.
President Simeon-Okraku has consistently shown his commitment to the welfare of Ghanaian footballers, both on and off the pitch.
Stephen Appiah, a former Ghana captain, brought his wealth of experience and empathy to the visit, offering words of encouragement and support to the right back.
Alidu is currently undergoing rehabilitation after a successful surgery in December last year. He has earned 20 caps and scored 1 goal for Ghana since his debut in 2022.
