Kwadwo Asamoah sets Serie A record

Ghanaian international Kwadwo Asamoah is officially the African player with the highest number of appearances in the Italian Serie A after making his debut on Sunday for Cagliari against Crotone.

Prior to the game, Asamoah and fellow countryman Sulley Ali Muntari were tied at 270 Serie A games each but the former’s 13 minutes appearance in the game yesterday has made him officially the African player with the highest number of games in Serie A.

Unlike Muntari who had stints in other countries in between his 270 games, Asamoah has featured continuously in the Serie A.

Asamoah joined Cagliari last month after being released by Inter Milan on October 2020.
