Infantino Leads Global Tributes After Tragic Death of Dominic Frimpong
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has joined the growing list of voices mourning the death of Dominic Frimpong, following the fatal armed robbery attack on Berekum Chelsea.
In a statement released on Monday, the world football governing body chief expressed deep sorrow over the loss of the 20-year-old, who was shot during a violent ambush on the team’s bus as they returned from a Ghana Premier League fixture.
“I am deeply saddened to hear of the tragic passing of Berekum Chelsea Football Club’s Dominic Frimpong following a reported attack on the team while returning from a Ghana Premier League fixture,” the statement read.
Infantino conveyed condolences on behalf of the global football community, extending support to the bereaved family, the club, and all those affected by the tragedy.
“On behalf of the global football community and everyone at FIFA, we send our condolences to his family, friends, everyone at Berekum Chelsea FC and all those who knew him,” he added.
Frimpong’s untimely death has sparked widespread grief across Ghana and beyond, intensifying calls for stronger security measures to protect clubs traveling for domestic competitions.
The young forward, who had joined Berekum Chelsea on loan from Aduana FC earlier this year, was beginning to make his mark before his life was tragically cut short.
As tributes continue to pour in, the incident has left a lasting impact on the football community, highlighting the urgent need to safeguard players and officials across the game.
