Rest in Peace, Dad: Nwabali Shares Emotional Farewell to Late Father

Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has announced the death of his father.

The Chippa United shot-stopper shared the heartbreaking news via his Instagram story earlier today, accompanied by a tearful emoji. Although Nwabali did not reveal the cause of his father’s passing, he posted a simple but emotional message: “Rest in peace, dad.”

Nwabali was in action for Nigeria on Thursday during their 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Benin Republic, where the match ended in a draw.

This tragic loss comes at a difficult time for the goalkeeper, who has shown professionalism and resilience both on and off the pitch. Fans and teammates are expected to rally around him in support during this challenging period.
