Richard Ofori's 2023 AFCON mistakes

Ofori’s recent public appearance comes months after a difficult campaign at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Trusted as Ghana’s No.1 goalkeeper by Chris Hughton, the former Maritzburg player was at the centre of a costly mistake during Ghana’s decisive group-stage match against Mozambique.

Ghana was leading 2-1 in the dying moments of the game, but Ofori misjudged a ball heading out for a goal kick and instead made contact, resulting in a corner for Mozambique, per Citi Sports.

The opposition capitalised on the opportunity, scoring the equaliser and knocking Ghana out of the tournament.

The 2-2 draw was a bitter end to what had been a promising game for the Black Stars, who were aiming for a first AFCON knockout appearance since 2017.

What is the current team of Richard Ofori?

Per Transfermarkt, the Ghanaian custodian currently plays for South African Premiership side AmaZulu, whom he joined in September 2024.

Ofori has kept eight clean sheets in 22 games for his side this season so far.

Ofori lands ambassadorial deal with Emporio Armani

Last month, Richard Ofori secured a high-profile ambassadorial partnership with luxury brand Emporio Armani.

The deal sees Ofori joining the ranks of sports personalities promoting world-renowned brands.

The announcement came via his official Instagram, where Ofori shared his excitement about his new venture.

Emporio Armani's Stronger With You perfume, launched in 2019, is a fragrance known for its bold blend of sweetness, spice, and warmth.

A favourite for evening wear or colder seasons, the fragrance is priced at GH¢ 2,500.

Ofori's earnings in the PSL

During his tenure with Orlando Pirates, Richard Ofori was among the highest-paid players, earning an estimated GHC 200,000 per month (approximately $16,000 USD).

This salary level suggests that he had the financial capacity to afford such a luxury vehicle like the Ranger Rover. However, since his move to AmaZulu FC in September 2024, specific details about his current salary have not been publicly disclosed.

YEN.com.gh earlier reported details of Kwadwo Asamoah's beautiful Accra home worth in the region of GHC 35 million.

The former Black Stars midfielder starred for a host of European clubs such as Juventus and Inter Milan, and won multiple trophies in the Serie A.

Despite his significant fortune amassed from football, the ex-Asokwa Deportivo lives a low-key life, often free from social media attention.
