Three years have passed since the tragedy that shook Albanian football. On 11 November 2023, Raphael Dwamena died tragically on the green pitch during the match between Egnatia and Partizani, after suffering a cardiac arrest.
On this painful anniversary, the Egnatia club remembered the former striker with a touching message on social media, honouring the figure and contribution of the Ghanaian footballer, who left an indelible mark on the history of the Rrogozhina side.
“Three years have passed since that painful day, but your memory remains as alive as it was then. The green pitch was the place where you gave your passion, but fate decided that your eternal memory would also remain there.
Forever, KF Egnatia will bow with respect and honour before your memory. We will never forget you, Rafa! Rest in peace, Raphael Dwamena”, the club wrote.
Dwamena was one of the most talented strikers to have played in Albanian football. Wearing the Egnatia shirt, he became one of the team’s main protagonists, also winning the hearts of the fans.
