Kuffour was at the park for the Monday Stars games, a weekly event where former footballers come together to play. The games attract several retired players who use the platform to stay active and connect with old teammates.

Sammy Kuffour, who turned 48 on September 3, 2024, was recently celebrated by his former club Bayern Munich on his birthday.

The German club recognised his achievements and contributions during his 13-year stay, where he played 175 Bundesliga matches and scored seven goals.

The Ghanaian defender is one of the most successful African players in the Bundesliga. He won six league titles, four DFB-Pokal trophies, and the 2001 UEFA Champions League with Bayern.

His emotional reaction after the club’s 1999 Champions League final loss and his celebrations in 2001 remain memorable moments in football history.

Kuffour left Bayern Munich in 2005 to join AS Roma, where he continued his career before retiring.
