Duamen’s career, though brief, was marked by his remarkable versatility and international experience. Before joining Iganti earlier this year, he had played for clubs across Europe, including in Switzerland, Austria, Denmark, and Spain.
His national contributions were equally noteworthy. In his eight appearances for the Ghanaian national team, Duamen scored two goals, the last of which was in August 2018. His sudden passing is a stark reminder of the unpredictability and fragility of life.
The football world has expressed deep condolences, remembering Duamen not just for his skills on the field, but for his spirited presence and the joy he brought to the game.
