What began as a night of celebration for Ghana’s opening FIFA World Cup victory ended in tragedy after a 26-year-old lawyer reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest and d+ed moments after the final whistle.
Sara Araba Tettey, a private legal practitioner who was recently called to Bar, reportedly collapsed while celebrating Ghana’s win over Panama on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
According to MyJoyOnline, Tettey was watching the match with friends at Standard Hostel, a private student residence in Bomso near the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) campus in Kumasi.
Witnesses said jubilant celebrations erupted after the Black Stars secured victory, but Tettey suddenly became unresponsive during the excitement.
