According to Ahotoronline, two others are battling injuries, turning what should have been a routine journey into a night of grief for families and the entire football community.
The emotional weight of this loss is even heavier as the nation prepares for the Black Stars’ second match in the Kirin Cup against South Korea on Tuesday, November 18.
A time when Ghana should be rallying behind the national team has instead been overshadowed by sorrow, making the build-up to the game particularly painful. The sense of unity football brings now feels shaken as the two-time Ghana Premier League champions mourn their own.
Reports indicate that the victims sustained severe injuries, with others still receiving critical treatment at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
Meanwhile, Aduana FC has expressed deep condolences and pledged support for the affected families.
