While he was passionately cheering his team from the stands, a live television commentator mistakenly referred to him as a “little man” and an “adorable kid,” apparently unaware he was watching a well-known Kumawood actor.
The moment quickly spread across social media, with many fans sharing clips and reacting with humour to the mix-up.
The actor also had brief interactions with former England captain John Terry and midfielder Jude Bellingham, who similarly misinterpreted his identity due to his small stature.
Despite the confusion, Dabo engaged warmly with the players, taking photos and continuing to show support for Ghana.
