Ofinso is in mourning while the remaining four of the eight youth footballers who died in the fatal traffic accident are buried.

Four of the Muslim footballers were buried a few days after the accident in accordance with Islamic customs.

The cost of the funeral has been borne by the government.

All eight footballers died after their Vision Academy team was involved in an accident on September 19 while returning from the record.

The team was traveling back to Offinso after a registration exercise at Afrancho in Kumasi when the bus carrying players and officials landed in the Offinso River.

The news shocked Ghanaians, especially the soccer community.

FIFA President Gianni Infantino and CAF Chief Ahmad Ahmad sent their condolences.

GFA President Kurt Okraku led the Executive Council to sympathize with the families and also to donate their monthly allowance.

Meanwhile, former Black Stars attacker Kevin-Prince Boateng has vowed to support the victims.
