Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is in mourning following the death of his mother, just a month after the passing of his father. The Chippa United player announced the heartbreaking news on social media on January 1, 2025.
In an emotional post on X (formerly Twitter), Nwabali wrote, “Rip mom,” and added, “worst year of my life already.” Earlier, he had expressed his feelings about the tumultuous times, stating, “A very very crazy world indeed.”
The 27-year-old had recently lost his father just hours before the Super Eagles’ match against Rwanda during a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification game in November.
While Nwabali did not disclose specific details regarding his mother’s passing, he has received an outpouring of condolences and support from football enthusiasts and well-wishers as he navigates this difficult period.
Known for his quick reflexes and calm demeanor in goal, Nwabali has earned praise for his performances with Chippa United, where he continues to make a significant impact in African football.
