The Ghana Football Association (GFA), has paid tribute to Stephen Keshi following the death of the former Nigeria player and coach.
The Ghana FA President Kwesi Nyantakyi sent a message of condolence to the Nigeria Football Federation and its President, Mr Amaju Pinnick.
“Stephen Keshi was a great man and a noble spirit, whose shining example of dedication to football and to footballers was not only dedicated Nigeria but to several countries including Ghana as he mentored several Ghanaian players,” wrote the GFA President.
“Keshi’s death is not only a loss to our brothers Nigeria but also to the football fraternity of Ghana. He was greatly admired by all and he will indeed be sorely missed.
“I had the honour – and the privilege – of meeting him on several occasions, and I was always overwhelmed by his dedication to football, his knowledge of the game and humility. This is a very sad day for us,” added Kwesi Nyantakyi in his message.
The CAF Executive Committee (ExCo) member on his own behalf and on behalf of Ghana Football fraternity, asked Mr. Pinnick to convey Ghanaians condolences to the entire Nigeria and loved ones.
The flags at the GFA headquarters will be flying at half-mast as they mourn the death of the 2013 Africa Cup of nations winner.
