The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has extended a N20 million support fund to Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali to assist with burial arrangements following the heartbreaking loss of his parents.
The fund was personally delivered by Augustine Eguavoen, the NFF’s Technical Director, underscoring the Federation’s commitment to supporting its players in times of personal crisis. Nwabali, who has been a standout performer for Nigeria in recent international competitions, is currently mourning the deaths of both his father and mother.
The gesture, funded and facilitated directly by the NFF, has been widely praised as a symbol of solidarity and genuine care. It demonstrates the Federation’s resolve to be present for its athletes not only in triumph but also in grief.
Speaking on the initiative, stakeholders and fans across the country commended the NFF for prioritizing player welfare beyond the football field. The football community has described the gesture as a reminder that the Super Eagles are more than just a team — they are a family.
This outpouring of support reflects the bond that unites Nigeria’s football ecosystem and serves as a poignant testament to the value of unity and empathy in sports.
