The body of Ghana striker Raphael Dwamena on Friday (November 17) arrived in Ghana for final funeral rites.

The 29-year-old collapsed during his side KF Egnatia’s league game against Partizani on Saturday, November 11. The incident occurred in the 23rd minute, with no apparent challenge on him.

Dwamena’s remains was received at the Kotoka International Airport by his family and officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The coffin, which was wrapped in polythene sack, was immediately draped in Ghanaian colours.

Prayers were offered, and short tributes paid as the family received his body in preparation for the funeral and burial rites in Ghana.
