The drum used by the Black Stars for their spirited ‘jama’ sessions prior to matches at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has found its place in the esteemed collection of the FIFA Museum.

This drum, known locally as ‘dondo’, has become an integral part of Ghana’s football national team rituals, often accompanying them on their journeys.

The Black Stars made quite an impression upon their arrival in Qatar, capturing headlines with their stylish entrance before each match during the tournament.

In a recent announcement, FIFA revealed that the drum has been officially incorporated into the Museum’s collection in Zurich.

Drums hold significant cultural importance in Ghana, contributing to the country’s vibrant musical heritage.
