Soccer circles around the world were shocked by the tragedy in which a promising Ghanaian first division player lost his life in an unexpected shooting. The incident is growing to the extent that it has been dealt with in European, African, and Middle Eastern media.

British media 'BBC' reported on the 13th (Korea time) that "Ghana soccer player Dominic Frimpong was killed in an armed robbery attack targeting his team Berekum Chelsea."

Earlier, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) said in a statement, "We are deeply shocked and saddened by Frimpong's death. "I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family and teammates of the deceased," he said, adding, "Frimpong was a dedicated and passionate prospect that symbolized the spirit of the Ghanaian league."

African media 'Foot Africa' also reported in detail on the same day that "a young footballer was killed in an armed attack after the game, leaving Ghanaian soccer sad."

According to local reports, gunmen fired indiscriminately while the vehicle was moving. In the process, Frimpong, a 20-year-old prospect, suffered a serious head injury and was rushed to a nearby hospital, but eventually passed away.

"A group of armed robbers blocked the road and obstructed traffic," said Berekum Chelsea, who lost his prospect in a tragic accident. "When the driver tried to reverse the car and get out, masked and armed with rifles started shooting at the bus." When the shooting began, players and staff were forced to evacuate to a nearby forest to hide themselves.

This is not even the first time such a tragedy has occurred in Ghana. In 2023, Legon City's team bus was similarly attacked after the Samatex game. There were no casualties at the time. In response, the Ghana Football Association announced measures to significantly strengthen the security system to ensure the safety of clubs when moving to domestic tournaments.

The Ghanaian league, which has lost its promising player, is in deep sorrow. "Dominic's death is a huge loss not only for Berekum Chelsea but also for Ghanaian football as a whole," the association said.
