The football world is not without its problems, but if there is one aspect of the game that stands out, it is the ability of all parties involved to come together and support one another in times of need.

The football community came together over the weekend once more to express their love and condolences for one of their own who was sadly lost in the earthquake that struck Turkey and Syria early on February 6, 2023.

There was a flood of support for Christian Atsu from FIFA to the different major leagues to the nations fortunate enough to have been honored with his presence.

On February18,2023, the day after the Ghanaian footballer’s death was officially confirmed, Atsu received condolences from practically every league.

His previous clubs Chelsea and Newcastle in the Premier League observed a minute of silence before their respective games on Saturday.

Newcastle honored the late footballer Atsu, who spent four seasons on their roster, by inviting his wife and children to their 2-0 loss to Liverpool.

To express his sorrow for the passing of his national teammate, Jordan Ayew also wore a shirt that read, “Rest in Peace, Atsu.”

Throughout the entire game, both Newcastle and Chelsea supporters sang his name and expressed their admiration for him.

Former Everton teammate Romelu Lukaku paid tribute to him and his family by dedicating his goal for Inter Milan in the Italian league.

With a free kick in the final seconds of Ajax’s game on Sunday, Mohammed Kudus paid a fitting tribute to Atsu by taking off his shirt and wishing him a kind farewell in the hereafter.

Ghanaian players paid respect to him in the Bundesliga and La Liga, and some of the posts were reposted by the major league bodies.
