Ghanaian football player Raphael Dwamena, who played for the national team, tragically passed away at 28. He collapsed during a match, leading to his untimely demise. The Ghana Football Association expressed their deep sorrow, acknowledging Dwamena’s dedicated service to Ghana’s football.
A video, circulating on social media, captured Dwamena’s collapse during a match in the Albanian First Division between Egnatia and Partizani. Medical teams rushed to his aid on the field, but unfortunately, he did not survive.
In October 2021, Dwamena had a similar collapse while playing for Blau-Weiß Linz against Hartberg in the Austrian Cup. He had recovered and returned to playing, which makes his recent passing even more shocking.
