Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has announced the passing of his mother, just weeks after losing his father.
Nwabali shared the heartbreaking news on social media on Wednesday, describing it as the “worst year of my life already.”
The 28-year-old Chippa United shot-stopper had previously lost his father on November 15, 2024.
Due to the tragic events, Nwabali was excused from Nigeria’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Rwanda.
Fans and teammates have expressed their condolences, offering support to the grieving goalkeeper during this difficult time.
