The Black Stars of Ghana will pay tribute to the late Christian Atsu during their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification match against Angola later this month.<\/p>\n

Atsu was confirmed dead after he was trapped in a rubble in Turkey following a 7.8 magnitude of earthquake that struck the country.<\/p>\n

It has been confirmed that the former winger will be buried on March 17.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cAll the Black Stars players are very sad about Christian Atsu\u2019s death and the Black Stars will surely honour their late member Christian Atsu Twasam during our AFCON qualifier against Angola,\u201d Henry Asante Twum, who is the Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association [GFA] told Accra based Original FM.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars\u00a0will play Angola on March 23 and March 27 in the third and fourth round of games\u00a0of the qualifiers for the 2023 AFCON tournament to be hosted in Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

The first leg of the two games will be played in Ghana at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on March 23.<\/p>\n

Later, the Black Stars will travel to Luanda for the reverse fixture against the Angola national team.<\/p>\n
