Former Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan recently paid a courtesy visit to Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II.
This visit was part of Gyan’s Ashanti Regional tour and marked the conclusion of activities leading up to the official launch of the All-Regional Games.
Gyan, the all-time top scorer for the Black Stars, visited the Manhyia Palace on July 4, 2024, where he was seen exchanging pleasantries with the King.
Following the visit, he shared his delightful experience of meeting Otumfuo on X (formerly Twitter).
“I Have never felt so special in my life like this before, For Opemsuo to stop just to have a few words with me, I really feel blessed,” he wrote.
The All-Regional Games, organized by Asamoah Gyan, are set to launch at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, on July 6, 2024.
The actual event is scheduled for November 2024, as revealed by the organizers during an initial unveiling in Accra in April 2024.
The Games will feature competitions in nine sporting disciplines: football, athletics, volleyball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, boxing, e-sports, and arm-wrestling.
