Super Eagles and Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has tragically lost his mother.
The South Africa-based goalkeeper shared the sorrowful news via X on Wednesday.
“Rip mom, worst year of my life already,” the goalkeeper posted, accompanied by tears and heartbreak emojis on New Year’s Day.
“A very very crazy world indeed,” he wrote before revealing the news.
Nwabali’s mother’s passing comes just two months after he lost his father.
His father’s death was announced in November, a few hours after the goalkeeper played in goal for the Super Eagles in their 1-1 draw against Benin Republic in their penultimate 2025 AFCON qualification match.
Although he has not disclosed the cause of his mother’s death, the news must have been a devastating blow, especially after he shared a 2024 recap video in the early hours of New Year’s Day.
“2024 was a good year, we’re doubling everything in 2025. Thank you Chippa United FC. Thank you Super Eagles. Thanks to all my fans. Let’s do more!” he wrote.
