Shatta Wale is scheduled to perform at Emmanuel Adebayor’s retirement concert in Lome, Togo.
The event, known as the Jubilee Concert, is part of a series of programs organized to honour Adebayor’s retirement.
Adebayor announced his retirement from professional football on 21 March 2023, aged 39.
Despite initially planning to retire earlier, the 40-year-old has postponed his retirement party to June 2024 and will now conclude his career with a celebratory event.
During his career, he played for English clubs Arsenal, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Crystal Palace, as well as French side Metz, Monégasque team Monaco, Spanish team Real Madrid, Turkish clubs İstanbul Başakşehir and Kayserispor, Paraguay’s Club Olimpia and Togolese club Semassi.
The Stade de Kegue in Lome will host a grand concert featuring Shatta Wale and other well-known artists.
When Adebayor retired last year, he released a press release saying: “My professional career has come to an end. We have lived together moments of joy and intense emotions, in my respective clubs as well as with the selection of the Togolese National Team.
“At this moment when I am preparing to open a new page of my life, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone, from near or far. A great way to celebrate this moment would be to invite you all to the jubilee that the SEA Foundation is organizing to mark the end.
“Join me in June 2024 for this grandiose event which will take the form of a sports festival for the promotion values of peace, stability and cohesion between the peoples of Africa. Several activities are on the program for this jubilee, culminating in a gala match which will bring together in Lomé the big names in the world of football.”
