Black Stars goalkeeper Ati-Zigi weds long-time partner in Turkey
Ghana international goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi has tied the knot with his long-time partner, Perihan Kirli, in an intimate private ceremony held in Kuşadası.
The low-key wedding took place in the picturesque coastal resort town along the Aegean Sea, with only close family members and a select group of invited guests in attendance.
The couple exchanged vows in a serene waterfront setting, reflecting their preference for privacy despite Ati-Zigi’s growing profile in international football.
Local reports indicate that the ceremony was officiated by Kuşadası Mayor Ömer Günel, adding a special local touch to the occasion.
Ati-Zigi, who currently plays for FC St. Gallen, has established himself as one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the Swiss Super League since joining the club in 2020.
The 29-year-old has made over 200 appearances for the club across all competitions, earning recognition for his reflexes, command of the box, and composure under pressure.
On the international stage, he remains a key figure for the Ghana national team, with nearly 30 caps to his name. He has represented Ghana at major tournaments, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup and multiple Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
The marriage marks a significant personal milestone for the shot-stopper, who has largely kept his private life out of the spotlight throughout his career.
Ati-Zigi is expected to return to club duties with St. Gallen as preparations continue for the remainder of the season, balancing his professional commitments with this new chapter in his life.
