While his presence is a major boost for the four-time African champions, the Arsenal star himself received an emotional lift from two of his biggest supporters—his parents.
Partey's special reunion at the Black Stars camp
Before joining his teammates for Day Three of training, Thomas welcomed Jacob Partey, his dad, and Petty Partey, his mom, to the team’s plush residence at Alisa Hotel in North Ridge, Accra.
Clad in a crisp all-white African outfit, his father exuded pride, while his mother radiated warmth in a stunning yellow lace ensemble.
The former Atletico Madrid enforcer greeted his mother with a warm handshake, before sharing an emotional embrace in a beautiful mother-and-son moment.
He then engaged in a brief conversation with his father before appearing to head off for training as the short 33-second clip ended.
A father's sacrifice and a son's journey
Partey has always held family close to his heart, especially his father, whose sacrifices paved the way for his success.
To give his son a shot at fulfilling his dream, Jacob Partey sold off his possessions to help finance a trip to Spain for trials—a gamble that eventually paid off, as noted by the Sun.
Now, as he gears up to anchor Ghana’s midfield, Partey will be hoping this heartfelt visit brings good fortune when the Black Stars take on Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on March 21.
Thomas Partey: A key figure in Otto Addo’s plans
Beyond the family reunion, the midfielder is set to make his first appearance for the national team since featuring against Niger last year.
His return could be pivotal for Ghana’s quest to bounce back from their failed AFCON qualification campaign.
With his ability to dictate play, break opposition attacks, and transition the ball effectively, Partey remains a cornerstone in Otto Addo’s tactical blueprint.
Having earned 49 caps and netted 13 goals for the Black Stars, per Transfermarkt, he will be eager to make his mark once again.
