George Oppong Weah, the president of Liberia, has made a $10,000 donation to the family of the late Christian Atsu, a former winger for Newcastle United and Chelsea.
Former Black Stars player Kwame Ayew made the donation on behalf of George Weah, the only African footballer to have won the Ballon d’Or award.
On February 22, 2023, Kwame Ayew made a donation on behalf of George Weah while accompanying some members of the Ghanaian Liberian Community to the home of Christian Atsu.
Christian Atsu’s body, which was found in the ruins after an earthquake in Turkey on February 6, arrived in Ghana in the wee hours of Sunday.
The 31-year-old got trapped in his destroyed apartment for over a week before he was found dead.
The family is yet to announce plans for the burial and funeral of the winger, who was crowned best player at the 2015 AFCON.
