Support
The football fraternity has showed consistent support towards Mr. Fianoo since the passing of wife last July.
Many of them showed up to commiserate with him during the one week observation of her passing and also called on him at his residence in Tema to express their sympathy and sign a book of condolence.
Mrs. Fianoo
Mrs. Fianoo who is from La in Accra, was married to the GHALCA Chairman for over three decades.
Having spent that much time with the long-serving football administrator, Mrs. Fianoo was oftentimes referred to as the mother of football for her supporting role to her husband’s long association with football.
Indeed, together with her husband, they were on hand to sympathise and console the GHALCA Administrator, Samuel Oduro Nyarko during the final funeral rites of his wife, Mrs. Vida Yaa Oduro Nyarko, in January this year.
Mrs. Fianoo is survived by her husband and their four adult children: Dr Mrs. Priscilla Mawutor Fianoo Dzinyelo, Mrs. Anita Akofa Tackie, Benedicta Mawusi Fianoo and Benjamin Xolali Fianoo.
