BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Dinamo Bucharest will honour the memory of midfielder Patrick Ekeng, who died on Friday, by sending the Romanian Cup trophy to his family in Cameroon if they win the May 17 final, the club's sporting director said on Tuesday.

Ionel Danciulescu told Romanian TV channel Digi Sport that Dinamo would ask their opponents in the final, CFR Cluj, to do the same if they lift the trophy. Dinamo have won the domestic cup 13 times.
