Christian Atsu's Number 7 Jersey Should Be Retired By GFA In His Honour - Eastern Region FA Boss Linford Boadu

According to Eastern Regional Football Association Chairman Linford Boadu, the Ghana Football Association should retire the number 7 jersey of Christian Atsu to honour him

He indicated that Christian Atsu's jersey retirement needs an official discussion with the GFA to make the big announcement

He added that he had assumed Atsu was living in a small flat in Turkey, only to find out he was in a larger building, making his survival in the earthquake slim

Eastern Regional Football Association Chairman Linford Boadu said the Ghana Football Association (GFA) should consider retiring the number 7 jersey for the Black Stars.

He stated that the number 7 jersey of the Black Stars would be retired to honour the late Christian Atsu, who died in the earthquake in Turkey.

Nkonkonsa.com published earlier that during an interview with Koforidau-based Bryt Fm, he stated that, in his opinion, Christian Atsu's stay at the Renaissance building suggests he was not pleased with Hatayspor's initial arrangement for his stay at Hatay.

He said he was one of every Ghanaian who wished the sad news about Kudus was not true, even though it was almost impossible to survive the 45 seconds earthquake in such a vast building.

"The number 7 shirt should be retired in memory of Atsu, but there should be a meeting to make that decision, according to some FA’s Executive Council members," he reportedly told Bryt FM.
