The President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, has expressed total sadness about the untimely passing of Berekum Chelsea player Dominic Frimpong.

In his recent post, Infantino paid a tribute to the enterprising player who was attacked and killed by armed robbers in their team bus on their return from Sameriboi after a league match against Samartex FC on Sunday 12th April, 2026.

“I am deeply sàddened to hear of the passing of Berekum Chelsea Football Club’s Dominic Frimpong following a reported attack on the team while returning from a Ghana Premier League fixture”

“On behalf of the global football community and everyone at FIFA, we send our condolences to his family, friends, everyone at Berekum Chelsea FC and all those who knew him”.

This was how Gianni Infantino reacted to the sudden death of Dominic Frimpong.

Ghana was hit with a bad news over the weekend after match day 29 fixtures. Berekum Chelsea lost 1-0 to Samartex and coming back home the team was brutally attacked by fully armed robbers.

In the course of the attack, Dominic Frimpong suffered a stray bullet and lost his life subsequently.

This remains another darkest day in Ghana Football after Kotoko staunch supporter Francis Yaw Frimpong alias Pooley was stabbed to death at Nsoatre in February 2025.
