加纳足球协会周一表示，加纳超级联赛俱乐部贝雷库姆切尔西队的多米尼克·弗林蓬在球队大巴遭疑似武装劫匪团伙袭击后身亡。
该俱乐部在一份声明中称，事件发生于周日，当时贝雷库姆切尔西队刚结束在加纳南部萨姆雷博伊对阵萨马特克斯的比赛，正乘车返回。
声明写道：“当司机试图倒车时，持枪和突击步枪的蒙面男子开始向我们的大巴射击。球员和工作人员逃进附近灌木丛躲避。”
俱乐部表示，另有一名球员伤势严重，正在附近医院接受治疗。
加纳足球协会随后证实，20岁的边锋多米尼克·弗林蓬据称在此次事件中遇难。
该足协在一份声明中称：“这一悲剧事件不仅是贝雷库姆切尔西队的巨大损失，也是整个加纳足球界的重大损失。多米尼克是一位极具潜力的年轻天才，他对足球的投入与热情彰显了我们联赛的精神。”
加纳足球协会主席库尔特·埃德温·西蒙·奥克拉克鲁在社交媒体帖子中称这一事件“令人心碎”。
“愿多米尼克的灵魂安息，”他写道。
弗林蓬于今年年初从阿杜纳 Stars 足球俱乐部租借加盟贝雷库姆切尔西队。据当地媒体报道，他为该俱乐部出战13场，打入2球。
警方称，另一名受害者、52岁的乔治·奥乌苏·阿弗里耶在袭击中被抢走了逾400美元。
加纳足协补充称，将加强俱乐部参加国内赛事客场出行的安保措施。
加纳体育记者穆夫塔武·阿卜杜莱告诉BBC非洲体育频道，球迷们越来越质疑“出行参加联赛比赛是否安全”。
“如果球员或这项运动的核心参与者的生命都无法得到保障，那么这场比赛就不值得再打下去了，”阿卜杜莱对BBC非洲体育频道说道。
2023年，另一支加纳超级联赛球队莱贡城市队的大巴也曾遭疑似武装劫匪袭击，不过当时没有人员受伤报告。

Dominic Frimpong of Ghanaian Premier League club Berekum Chelsea was killed after the team’s bus was attacked by a group of suspected armed robbers, the country’s soccer association said Monday.
The incident happened on Sunday as Berekum Chelsea was returning from its game against Samartex in Samreboi in southern Ghana, the club said in a statement.
“Masked men welding guns and assault rifles started shooting at our bus as the driver tried to reverse. The players and staff fled into nearby bushes to take cover,” the statement read.
The club said one of the players was badly injured and receiving medical attention at a nearby hospital.
The Ghanaian Football Association later said 20-year-old winger Dominic Frimpong was reportedly killed in the incident.
“This tragic incident is not only a huge loss to Berekum Chelsea but also to Ghana football as a whole. Dominic was a promising young talent whose dedication and passion for the game embodied the spirit of our league,” the governing body said in a statement.
In a social media post, the president of the Ghanaian Football Association, Kurt Edwin Simeon Okrakru, called the incident “heartbreaking.”
“May Dominic’s soul rest in perfect peace,” he wrote.
Frimpong joined Berekum Chelsea FC on loan from Aduana Stars FC at the beginning of the year. He played 13 games and scored two goals for the club, according to local media.
Police said another victim, 52-year-old George Owusu Afriyie, was also robbed of more than$400 during the attack.
The GFA added it would strengthen security measures for clubs traveling for domestic competitions.
Ghanaian sports journalist Muftawu Abdulai told BBC Sport Africa that fans are increasingly questioning whether it is “safe to travel and play league matches.”
“If the lives of the people or the key architect of the game cannot be protected then it is not worth playing the game,” Abdulai told BBC Sport Africa.
In 2023, another Ghanian Premier League team’s bus, Legon Cities, was attacked by suspected armed robbers, though no injuries were reported.
