Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku says Asamoah Gyan has built a legacy that extends far beyond his achievements on the pitch following the former captain’s unveiling as ambassador for Ghana’s national teams and Colts football.

Speaking during the ceremony in Accra, the GFA president praised Gyan’s impact on Ghanaian society through philanthropy, youth empowerment and community support.

“True greatness is measured not only by achievements on the field, but also by the positive impact one leaves on society,” Okraku said.
