The Ghanaian football community is mourning the loss of Romeo Ricky Roy, the fitness coach of the Black Stars, who passed away on Sunday, April 28, 2024, in Accra.
Although details of his demise are scarce, his contributions to the national team will be deeply missed.
Roy joined the Black Stars’ backroom staff in 2021 during Milovan Rajevac’s second stint as coach and played a vital role in the team’s preparations for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar and the recent Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Before his tenure with the national team, Roy gained recognition for his heroic actions during a Division One League match between Vision FC and Agbozume Weavers in February 2020. He saved a player’s life, showcasing his dedication and commitment to the well-being of others.
The football fraternity extends its condolences to Roy’s family, friends, and the Black Stars team during this difficult time. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the impact he made on Ghanaian football.
