A video of the moment has gone viral on social media, with many Ghanaians happy to see Ayew looking fit and healthy. Fans recalled his achievements as a striker and his contributions to the national team.
Who is Kwame Ayew
Ayew had a successful football career, playing in France, Qatar, and Italy. He started professionally at 17 with FC Metz in Ligue 1, later moving to Al Ahli SC in Qatar before joining Lecce in Italy. He played for several clubs in Europe and made a decent name for himself before retiring.
Football runs in Ayew’s family. His brother, Abedi Pele, is one of Ghana’s greatest footballers, winning the UEFA Champions League with Olympique de Marseille. Their other brother, Sola, also played professionally.
The next generation continued the legacy, with André, Jordan, and Rahim Ayew all representing Ghana and playing for big clubs.
Kwame Ayew's legacy
YEN.com.gh spoke to Awal Mohammed Hudu a respected sports journalist at Kessben TV and Kessben Radio and he highlighted how great Kwame Ayew was in his playing days. He said:
"He was an integral figure in the Barcelona 92 squad that won Bronze in the Olympic Games. Played in Afcon 94, 96, and 2000 as I remember he equalized in the opening game against Cameroon after late Marc Vivien Foe's goal. Not too much of an exciting performance in the Black Stars but he's had his fare share of opportunity. Because too many strikers around that time Anthony Yeboah, Prince Opoku Polley, Prince Amoako, the late George Arthur, Felix Aboagye, Emmanuel Tetteh, Shamo Quaye, and Augustine Arhinful."
