Asamoah Gyan Officially Announced Retirement From Professional Football

Asamoah Gyan, the ex-captain of Ghana's national football team, has made a formal declaration about his retirement from the world of professional football. This marks the conclusion of his remarkable 20-year journey. Gyan, who started his football career as a young teenager in 2003, has chosen to call it quits in 2023. Throughout his illustrious career, he has achieved an impressive record of scoring more than 390 goals.

The announcement was made during his speech at The 30th Afreximbank Annual Meetings held at the Accra International Conference Centre on Tuesday evening. He said, “I want to take this great opportunity, a stage that is difficult in every footballer’s career, a moment all footballers do not wish, but when nature dawns, that thin voice will keep echoing into the ears… it is time… that voice has been clear in my ears, and I have succumbed to it, it is time. It is time to hand the jersey and boots in glory as I officially retire from active football.”
