Andre and Imani Ayew team up for a fun game of padel
The footage, shared on X and sighted by YEN.com.gh, captured the pair dressed in coordinated sportswear, looking every bit like seasoned teammates.
During one rally, the two worked tirelessly to keep the ball in play, showing sharp reflexes and strong coordination.
Their efforts were commendable, but the point slipped away when Imani’s return struck the net.
Unbothered, Andre turned to his sister with a smile, offering a round of applause for her effort before they resumed play.
Watch the video:
Imani, the only girl among three footballing brothers, Andre, Jordan, and Rahim, is cherished deeply by her siblings and their legendary father, Abedi Ayew 'Pele'.
That affection clearly translates into moments like these, both on and off the court.
For Andre and his sister, it’s another shared memory etched on the court, filled with laughter, healthy rivalry, and a lot of love.
Understanding the game of padel
Padel may not yet be a household name for everyone, but it’s fast gaining traction, especially among footballers.
According to Head, the sport, which blends elements of tennis and squash, offers an exciting and social experience for people of all skill levels.

Played in doubles on a smaller, enclosed court, it’s as strategic as it is fun.
The ball can bounce off the walls but must only hit the turf once before being returned.
Points are won when the opponent fails to return the ball after a second bounce. The simplicity of the rules and the pace of the game make it accessible and addictive.
Cristiano Ronaldo to invest in padel tennis
Andre Ayew isn’t the only football star to pick up a padel racket, as Cristiano Ronaldo is also a big fan. And, the Portuguese icon is going beyond just playing the game; he’s investing in it.
According to Padel Addict, Ronaldo is set to fund a state-of-the-art padel facility in Oeiras, Portugal.
The ambitious project will feature 17 courts, including 11 indoor pitches and a central arena capable of hosting 2,000 spectators.
