Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has announced the passing of his mother, marking a heartbreaking start to the new year.
The 28-year-old Chippa United shot-stopper shared the news on social media, writing on X, “A very very crazy world indeed; RIP mom, worst year of my life already.”
This tragedy follows closely on the heels of another personal loss for Nwabali, who lost his father on November 15, 2024. The bereavement had earlier excused him from Nigeria’s 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Rwanda.
Fans, teammates, and well-wishers have since extended their condolences to the grieving goalkeeper during this difficult time.
