President Nana Akufo-Addo has been presented with a special jersey of Italian football club, AS Roma.

The gesture is in appreciation of his love to the team since it started playing in the league.

In a short ceremony to honour the president, the consul to Italy, Massimiliano Taricone presented the jersey on behalf of AS Roma.

He thanked president Akufo-Addo for his unflinching support to the team during all league games.

The first gentleman's love for the club dates back many years ago when he developed an interest in the foreign leagues including the Champions League.

AS Roma was founded in 1927 when Italo Foschi initiated the merger of three old Italian championship clubs from the city of Rome.
