Ghana President, Nana Addo Dankwa-Akufo Addo has been presented with a special home jersey of an Italian football club, AS Roma.

The gesture is to appreciate the love by the first gentleman of the Republic to the team since it started playing in the league.

On a short occasion to honour the President, Accredited Ghanaian Consul to Italy, Massimiliano Taricone did the presentation on behalf of AS Roma.

The Ghanaian leader’s love for the club dates back in the last decades when he developed an interest in the foreign leagues including the champions league.

AS Roma was founded in 1927 when Italo Foschi initiated the merger of three old Italian Championship clubs from the city of Rome.

Former Black Stars defender, Samuel Osei Kuffour is among the few Ghanaian players to have played for AS Roma.
