How Ghanaian footballers and clubs celebrated Ghana's Independence Day

Some Ghanaian clubs and footballers took to their social media pages to wish the nation well as the country marked 68 years of independence.

Former footballers like Asamoah Gyan, Stephen Appiah and West Ham United attacker Mohammed Kudus celebrated the special day with posts on their X handles, formerly Twitter, hoping for the best for the nation.

Ghana Premier League clubs, including Asante Kotoko, Accra Hearts of Oak, Nsoatreman, Aduana Stars, and others, also shared messages about the nation's independence.

Spanish La Liga side Athletic Bilbao wished their Ghanaian followers a Happy Independence Day with an image of Black Stars forward Inaki Williams.

The 68th Independence parade was held at the seat of government, Jubilee House, where President John Dramani Mahama addressed the nation.

This year's celebration at the Presidency, on the theme "Reflect, Review, Reset," featured key activities such as a Military Guard of Honour and a cultural performance by two groups of basic school pupils.

There was also a poetry recital by a senior high school student.
