The 39-year-old striker enjoyed a stellar club career that spanned nearly two decades across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. He began his professional journey with Liberty Professionals in Ghana before moving to Udinese in Italy. Gyan later featured for clubs such as Modena, Rennes, Sunderland, Al Ain, Al Ahli, Shanghai SIPG, and Kayserispor, before ending his career with Legon Cities FC.
After officially retiring from professional football in June 2023, Gyan has continued to be celebrated as one of Africa’s most iconic forwards.
The upcoming testimonial match is expected to attract football icons, fans, and dignitaries from across the continent to honour his illustrious career and lasting legacy.
Asamoah Gyan’s story remains one of inspiration and national pride — a journey that elevated Ghana’s presence on the global football stage and cemented his status as one of the country’s greatest sporting heroes.
