SUPER EAGLES goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has lost his mother, just six weeks after his father passed away.
The Chippa United shot stopper announced his mother’s death in a social media post on New Year’s Day, less than two months after his father’s passing.
“RIP mom, worst year of my life already,” the 28-year-old wrote on X, adding emojis that conveyed sadness.
Nwabali, who has been Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper since the beginning of 2024 when he starred at the Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire, lost his father in November, just hours after featuring for the Super Eagles against Benin Republic.
The Nigeria Football Federation condoled with Nwabali on the loss of his mother, posting on X: “Our heartfelt condolences to Stanley Nwabali on the loss of his mother.
“Stay strong, Stanley. sending you strength and support during this difficult time. You are not alone; we are all with you.”
