The Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, has commiserated with Stanley Nwabali following the demise of his father.

The Super Eagles first-choice goalkeeper lost his father on Friday morning.

Nwabali announced the sad news on social media.

“The death of a parent is always a thing of deep sorrow and sadness. However, we want Stanley to take heart in the fruitful and fulfilled life that his father lived, and we pray that the Almighty will grant him eternal rest and also grant Stanley and other members of the family the fortitude to bear the big loss,” NFF president Mohammed Sanusi said in a statement.

The shot stopper was in action for the Super Eagles against Benin Republic on Thursday night.

He is expected to be excused from Monday’s clash with the Amavubi of Rwanda.
