The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced plans to hold a testimonial match to celebrate the career of legendary striker and former Black Stars captain, Asamoah Gyan.
The event will recognise Gyan’s contribution to Ghanaian football, with further details to be confirmed.
Gyan is Ghana’s all-time leading scorer, with 51 goals in 109 appearances for the national team. He is also Africa’s top scorer in FIFA World Cup history, having netted six goals across three tournaments: Germany 2006, South Africa 2010, and Brazil 2014.
The 39-year-old enjoyed a distinguished club career across Europe, Asia and the Middle East. He began at Liberty Professionals in Ghana before moving to Udinese in Italy, followed by spells at Modena, Rennes, Sunderland, Al Ain, Al Ahli, Shanghai SIPG, and Kayserispor. He finished his career at Legon Cities FC and retired from professional football in June 2023.
Gyan left a lasting mark on African football, and the testimonial promises to be a fitting celebration of a career that inspired millions and secured his place as one of Ghana’s greatest footballers.
