The Black Stars playing body joined deputy captain Thomas Partey at the Transitions Funeral Home in Accra on Friday to mourn the death of his father, Jacob Teye Partey.
The team arrived in the capital on Friday morning following their 2-0 victory over Somalia in Thursday's 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier in Sekondi.
They proceeded directly to the funeral grounds to offer their condolences and stand in solidarity with Partey and his family during their difficult moment.
The gesture highlighted the unity within the Black Stars camp, with the players setting aside preparations for Monday's return fixture against Somalia to support their deputy captain.
Minister for Sports and Recreation Kofi Adams was also present to commiserate with the bereaved family and demonstrate the government's support for Partey and the national team.
Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kurt Okraku led the football delegation, which included Executive Council members Dr Randy Abbey, Samuel Aboabire and Gideon Fosu.
Former Black Stars captain and current vice-chairman of the team, Stephen Appiah, also attended alongside members of the team's Management Committee.
Other notable personalities at the funeral included former Ghana international Anthony Baffoe, 1995 FIFA U-17 World Cup winner Awudu Issaka, former captain Andre Ayew and ex-international David Accam.
Regional Football Association chairmen Linford Asamoah, Robert Duncan and Daniel Agbogah, representing the Eastern, Central and Volta regions respectively, were also in attendance.
The gathering brought together current and former players, football administrators and government officials, reflecting the strong bonds within the Black Stars family and the football community's support for Partey.
The Black Stars will now shift their attention to football matters as they prepare for Monday's second-leg encounter against Somalia at the Essipong Sports Stadium, with Ghana looking to complete a double over their opponents in the 2027 AFCON qualifiers.
