Nania Park at the University of Ghana witnessed a heartwarming reunion this week as André Dede Ayew, Ghana’s 2009 U20 World Cup-winning captain, linked up with his old midfield comrade Bright Addae.
The two were part of the historic Black Satellites squad that conquered the world in Egypt, becoming the first and only African side to lift the FIFA U20 World Cup. Sixteen years later, their bond is still intact.
Dede Ayew, fresh off his departure from French side Le Havre, has been using the off-season to stay sharp, and Nania Park has become his base.
The venue, often buzzing with both retired greats and current professionals during the off-season, provided the perfect backdrop for the reunion.
Bright Addae, now back in Ghana on break from his club career in Europe, stopped by the grounds.
When the two spotted each other, they shared a warm embrace, teammates once more.
A short conversation followed, filled with laughter and quiet nostalgia, before they posed for a photo that’s now making waves among Ghanaian football fans online.
