Former Ghana striker Raphael Dwamena has been confirmed dead while playing football in Albania, according to AshesGyamera sources.

The 28-year-old collapsed while in action for his side KF Egnatia after suffering from what appeared as a heart attack in the 24th minute of a game against FK Partizani in the Albanian Super League.

Dwamena, who was initially diagnosed of a heart problem, was advised by doctors to quit football leading to his contract cancellation.

In 2017, Dwamena failed a medical test at Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion after impressing the club’s top hierarchy with his wonderful talent and form at the time.

Also, in October 2020, Danish club Vejle withdrawn Dwamena from the team engagements due to after a similar health problem truncated a loan spell with Real Zaragoza in the Spanish second division a year before. 

He was a Red Bull Salzburg academy product and joined Swiss side FC Zurich in 2017 following an impressive loan spell with Lustenau in the Austrian second tier.

In the summer of 2018, he transferred to Spain to join Levante.

Dwamena made his Ghana debut against Ethiopia at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium scoring twice in an Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier in 2017.

However, amid all the rumors, Hughton seems to make a huge statement by releasing his squad that he he will be using for the qualifiers.

Notably returning to the squad is captain Andre Ayew who has been without a club since leaving Premier League side Nottingham Forest last year August. The 33-year-old was dropped when Ghana faced Mexico and USA and his presence as well as experience is needed now than ever.

2024 NAB Show Set to Revolutionize Sports Media with Innovative Technologies

Las Vegas, NV – As the media and broadcasting industry anticipates the 2024 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) Show, the buzz is particularly strong around the advancements and opportunities in sports media.

Scheduled to take place in Las Vegas from April 13-17, 2024, the event promises to be a showcase for how emerging technologies are redefining sports broadcasting, offering unparalleled experiences for viewers and new avenues for content creators.

The 2024 NAB Show is expected to highlight several key trends that will shape the future of sports media. Among the most anticipated is the integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR), which are set to offer immersive viewing experiences. These technologies not only promise to bring fans closer to the action but also open new possibilities for interactive advertising and fan engagement.

Another significant focus will be on the adoption of 5G technology in sports broadcasting. With its high-speed connectivity and low latency, 5G is poised to enable more reliable and high-quality live sports coverage, especially in remote or challenging locations. This could lead to an increase in live broadcasts of niche sports, expanding their reach and popularity.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies will also be under the spotlight, with their potential to transform sports analytics and enhance personalized viewing experiences. From automated highlight reels to predictive analytics for performance improvement, AI and ML are becoming indispensable tools for sports media professionals.

Sustainability is another critical theme, with the industry seeking to minimize its environmental impact. The 2024 NAB Show will feature solutions for more energy-efficient production and broadcasting practices, highlighting the sector’s commitment to eco-friendly operations.

Additionally, the event will explore the evolving landscape of sports media rights and distribution, as digital platforms continue to challenge traditional broadcast models. Discussions will delve into strategies for navigating this complex environment, ensuring content creators can effectively reach and monetize their audiences.

The 2024 NAB Show is not just an exhibition but a forum for innovation, learning, and networking, offering sports media professionals invaluable insights into the future of their field. With its comprehensive program of workshops, panels, and demonstrations, the event is poised to inspire the next wave of technological advancements in sports broadcasting.

Asamoah Gyan in trouble: Court awards cars, two houses, and gas station to Ghana legend’s ex-wife in divorce case

After a protracted three-year legal battle, an Accra court has delivered a verdict today affirming Asamoah Gyan’s paternity of the three children born to Gifty Gyan.

The court has decreed that Asamoah Gyan is obligated to provide financial support to Gifty Gyan in the form of a monthly stipend of 25,000 Ghana cedis.

However, this financial assistance does not encompass specific expenses such as school fees, medical and dental care, flight tickets, and various other childcare costs.

In addition to the financial obligations, the court has ruled that Asamoah Gyan’s mansion located in the United Kingdom be transferred to Gifty Gyan as part of the settlement.

She has also been awarded a four-bedroom house situated in Spintex, Accra.

Furthermore, the court has adjudicated that two vehicles owned by Asamoah Gyan, a BMW and an Infiniti, be handed over to Gifty Gyan.

Additionally, Asamoah Gyan’s land, originally designated for the construction of a filling station, has been assigned to Gifty Gyan.

This legal decision represents a significant development in the longstanding and intricate legal dispute involving Asamoah Gyan and Gifty Gyan, particularly in relation to the custody of their children and associated financial matters.

It is worth noting that in 2018, Asamoah Gyan publicly disclosed his financial challenges, citing bankruptcy.

The situation further complicated matters, as Gyan reportedly ceased communication with his wife, Gifty, and their three children since August. Phone calls from the family have gone unanswered.

Amidst these developments, Asamoah Gyan is said to have expressed his intention to seek an annulment of his marriage to Gifty,

This test has been requested by Asamoah Gyan’s older brother, Baffuor, adding another layer of complexity to this intricate family saga.
