FIFA and CAF have waded into the outpouring of tributes to the late Kwasi Owusu.

Kwasi Owusu, a legendary former Ghanaian footballer died on Monday, 30th March 2020 after battling illness. He played and won silver in the 1970 Africa Cup of Nations in Sudan and captained Ghana for more than a decade.

In a statement signed by FIFA President Gianni Infantino to GFA President Kurt E.S Okraku on Monday, Mr. Infantino said:

“Words seem inadequate to express the sadness we feel for this new loss. During his career, Kwasi was part of the famous national team that won the silver medal at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations in 1970 in Sudan and that two years later participated in the Olympic Football Tournament 1972 in Munich.

“At club level, he will be remembered for his career at Bofoakwa Tano FC. Former captain of the Black Stars and one of Ghana’s most prolific goal scorers, his legacy and trajectory on and off the pitch will not be forgotten and he will be truly missed.

“On behalf of the international football community, I wish to extend our deepest sympathy to the Ghana Football Association, and to Kwasi’s family, friends and loved ones. Our thoughts are with all of you” the stated ended.
