In recent weeks, videos of Black Stars goalkeeper Benjamin Asare traveling in a trotro—a popular shared commercial vehicle in Ghana—have captured the hearts of netizens across the nation.
As Ghana’s first-choice goalkeeper, fans expressed concern over his daily commute, wondering how someone of his talent and status had to rely on public transport.
Moved by the widespread attention the viral video generated, Class Media Group’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and business tycoon, Alhaji Seidu Agongo gifted the footballer a generous present—a 2018 Hyundai Elantra. The sleek sedan, now gleaming in Asare’s driveway, symbolizes more than just transportation; it represents hope, community support, and the strength of Ghanaian solidarity.
The gift has sparked conversations about the support athletes receive from the government beyond what occurs on the field.
It also highlighted how community investment can uplift national icons and inspire the next generation. Young players now see that success is a journey shared, and that support often comes from unexpected places.
Benjamin Asare’s transition from trotro to Elantra is more than a story of material change; it’s a testament to Ghana’s unwavering community spirit. As the goalkeeper gears up for the next international fixtures, fans will cheer not only for his skill but also for the collective heart of a nation that rides every journey with its heroes.
