Stanley Nwabali, Nigerian goalkeeper’s heartbreaking loss. The start of the year 2025 has been an incredibly tough time for him – he lost his dad during AFCON qualifiers last year 2024, and now his mom has passed away too in 2025.

He just shared the devastating news on X (what we used to call Twitter), simply saying “Rip mom, worst year of my life already 😢💔”.
It just breaks your heart to read that.

While we don’t know exactly what happened, lots of people, including his teammates and fans, have been reaching out to show their support during this really difficult time.
I can’t imagine how hard it must be to deal with losing both parents in such a short time. Nwabali has shown such strength on the field as Nigeria’s goalkeeper, and our heart truly goes out to him and his family as they go through this immense personal loss.
