Family, friends, and members of the Ghana football fraternity gathered at the Kotoka International Airport to witness the arrival of the mortal remains of Raphael Dwamena, a former Black Stars player who died tragically on the pitch.

The tragic incident occurred during a match in the Albanian league, where Dwamena, playing for KF Egnatia, collapsed and subsequently passed away. 

The cause of death was a cardiac arrest, and this unfortunate event led to his suspension from the game.

Despite the medics' efforts to resuscitate him and the swift transportation to the hospital by an ambulance, Dwamena, who had suffered cardiac arrest twice before, succumbed to the condition.

The late footballer had an impressive career, making 9 appearances for the Black Stars of Ghana and scoring two goals. 

He played for renowned clubs such as Zurich, Levante, and Zaragoza
