United Arab Emirates giants Al Ain have honoured one of the best ever players in the history of the club, Asamoah Gyan – the former Ghana captain and inspirational star.
The ex-Ghana international returned to the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium on Tuesday, 08 March 2022 where he met Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors Khaled Abdullah Hamar Ain Al Dhaheri.
In attendance for the short honouring ceremony were other Board of Directors Salem Al-Junaibi and Majid Al-Owais.
”It is difficult for me to express my feelings towards Al-Ain, the great club that I love and adore, and in which I spent a wonderful period, and I have memories that cannot be removed from my memory, and I will not reveal a secret if I tell you that I consider it the best club ever for me, and personally, I am very happy to be back in my big home.”, Asamoah Gyan said after being honored by the club.
The 36-year-old spent four years at Al Ain, where he attained legendary status after enjoying a trophy-laden spell at the Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium.
Gyan won three UAE Pro League titles, the President’s Cup and the Super Cup and was also the league’s top scorer three times.
He also helped Al Ain to reach the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League in 2014, where he again emerged as the highest scorer in the continental competition.
The Ghanaian scored over 100 goals for Al Ain and, on Tuesday, he was honoured after returning to the Asian country.
