The one week observation for deceased Ghanaian footballer, Christian Atsu, is set for March 4, 2023, two days before Independence day.
The decision was made after the Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif along with officials of the Ghana Football Association, met with the Twasam family. The approved venue for the one week observation is the Adjiringanor Astro-Turf. Adjiringanor is situated west of Trasacco Valley, and east of East Legon in the Greater Accra region.
Spokesperson for the family, Robert Ani made this known in an interview with Citi News, he also stated that a date has not yet been set for the funeral.
“It’s been agreed that on 4th March, the One Week Observation will be held at the Adjiringanor Astro-Turf” Robert Ani said.
“We are yet to decide a date for the funeral itself because we are still in consultation with the relevant stakeholders.”
Christian Atsu lost his life in the devastating Earthquake that rocked Turkey about two weeks ago.
His body was returned home to Accra on Sunday, February 19, with the state promising to ensure the former Newcastle player is given a befitting burial.
The Sports Minister in an interview with Citi Sports revealed that Atsu’s family and relevant stakeholders, will meet with President Nana Akufo-Addo on Monday, to finalise the burial rites for the 31-year old.
“We are going to call on the President on Monday and once the plans that have been discussed are approved, we will make it public.” Mustapha Ussif said.
The 31-year-old footballer died in a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit parts of Turkey and Syria on February 6, 2023.
The body of late Atsu was brought to Ghana last Sunday, February 19, 2023, from Turkey.
Atsu’s lifeless body was retrieved from the wreckage in Turkey after an 11-storey building collapsed on him and others. May His Soul Continue To Rest In Peace.
