Nigeria international & Chippa United captain Stanley Nwabali mourns mother's passing barely two months after losing his father - 'A very, very crazy world indeed'

<p>Chippa United goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali lost his father in the last international break. </p><p>He played in a 1-1 draw with Benin before being excused to bury his dad which saw him miss the 2-1 loss against Rwanda - both in the completed 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.</p><p>The 28-year-old has now confirmed his mother is no more. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Nwabali confirmed the sad news on his X account</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Rip mom, worst year of my life already 😢💔</p>— Nwabali Stanley bobo (M.O.N) (@NwabaliBobo) <a href="https://twitter.com/NwabaliBobo/status/1874537727779332185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 1, 2025</a></blockquote>

<p>It is a situation that has left him helpless.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A very very crazy world indeed 🕯💔</p>— Nwabali Stanley bobo (M.O.N) (@NwabaliBobo) <a href="https://twitter.com/NwabaliBobo/status/1874531610177187869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 1, 2025</a></blockquote>

WHAT SHOW ME MORE

<p>Nwabali is now set to probably miss Chippa United's next Premier Soccer League game against Royal AM to be played at the Nelson Mandela Bay on Saturday, January 11.</p><p>The Nigerian has been key for his club, and this season he has already played 12 games across all competitions as the club's captain.</p><p></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After missing out on a possible move to Kaizer Chiefs in the summer transfer, the keeper has been linked, once again, to Amakhosi who are struggling to keep clean sheets.</p><p>Rumours have it that a swap deal between him and Fiacre Ntwari might be considered by both teams.  </p>
