Ghanaian international forward Felix Afena-Gyan has fallen victim to a residential burglary after intruders broke into his home in Italy while he was away on international assignment, according to local reports.

The attacker had traveled to join Ghana's senior national team, the Black Stars, for an international friendly fixture against Mexico over the weekend.

Afena-Gyan started the match and logged 67 minutes on the pitch in a contest that saw Ghana fall 2-0 to the 2026 FIFA World Cup co-hosts.

Upon his return to Italy, the Turkey-based player discovered that his house had been ransacked and personal items had been stolen during his absence.

Specific details concerning the exact inventory of the stolen property and the precise entry methods used by the burglars were not immediately made public.

The break-in highlights an ongoing vulnerability for professional footballers, who frequently must balance demanding club and country schedules that leave their homes unoccupied for prolonged stretches of time.

At the time of reporting, neither Afena-Gyan nor his management team had issued an official statement regarding the incident.
