Agyemang Diawusie from SSV Jahn Regensburg died at the age of 25. The third division club’s upcoming home game will take place in memory of the former striker. The association comments on the cause of death.
After the death of Agyemang Diawusie, SSV Jahn Regensburg will play its home game in the 3rd football league against SC Freiburg II in special memory of the striker. According to their own statements on Thursday, the Upper Palatinate team “exchanged and coordinated extensively and openly with the closest personal and family circle of the deceased player.” The home game this Sunday (4:30 p.m.) will therefore take place as planned.
According to the club, Diawusie died last Tuesday “of sudden cardiac death, presumably caused by a viral infection with suspected myocarditis” at the age of just 25.
“It was and is very important to us as a club to have made this decision taking into account all emotional states and circumstances and as a result of a very intensive consideration process in coordination with all parties,” said Regensburg’s sports director Achim Beierlorzer about hosting the home game.
The club thanks you for your great sympathy
“In this context, we as SSV Jahn would also like to thank the entire German football community for their great sympathy and for the many different words of condolence on various channels. It is a comfort to know that we – and especially Agy’s family – are not alone in our grief. We further ask that the privacy of Agyemang Diawusie’s personal environment be respected.”
