The President of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, will be the event’s special guest of honor.

In February, Christian Atsu was taken from this world far too soon as a result of the devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria, with the city of Hatayspor in southern Turkey bearing the brunt of the destruction.

The body of the Ghanaian footballer was located under the debris of his apartment after a search that lasted for a total of 12 days.

On February 19, his body was flown back to Ghana by Turkish Airlines. The flight took place on a Sunday.

Atsu, who is now 31 years old and has contributed 19 goals for the Black Stars, played in 65 matches for the team.

He was a player for the Turkish club Hatayspor up until the time of his passing, and representatives from that club are anticipated to be in attendance at the funeral service.
