Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is facing immense personal grief after the passing of his mother, just two months after losing his father.
The 28-year-old shared the heartbreaking news on social media, writing, “A Very Very Crazy World Indeed, RIP Mom. Worst Year Of My Life Already.”
A String of Tragedies
Nwabali’s loss comes during a difficult period in his life. In November 2024, he lost his father, which saw him excused from national duty during a match against Rwanda.
Now, as he mourns his mother, the talented goalkeeper faces another emotional blow in what has been an already challenging year.
Support from the Football Community
The football world has rallied around Nwabali, with fans, teammates, and officials offering their condolences and messages of support.
Known for his resilience on and off the pitch, Nwabali has become a symbol of strength during adversity, but this latest loss underscores the heavy toll that life can sometimes bring.
The Super Eagles camp and Nigerian football community are expected to continue standing by Nwabali during this incredibly tough time.
