The President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Dr Patrice Motsepe, has pledged support for family and friends of Berekum Chelsea’s Dominic Frimpong, who lost his life from the deadly armed robbery attack on Sunday.
In a letter addressed to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Dr Motsepe said he learned of the unfortunate incident with profound sadness.
“It is with profound sadness that I learned of the armed robbery attack on the bus of Berekum Chelsea, returning from a Ghana Premier League fixture, which claimed the life of a 20-year-old winger Dominic Frimpong,” he stated.
“Please pass my personal and CAF’s deepest condolences to the family, friends and teammates of Dominic Frimpong and to the Ghana Football Association.”
He prayed for comfort for the family and pledged CAF’s support.
“May God comfort and console his loved ones and the entire Ghanaian football community. CAF is with you during this sad and painful period.”
This tribute comes after FIFA President Gianni Infantino also expressed condolences to the bereaved family.
