A Nigerian footballer in Spain has died after he collapsed on the pitch.
Ado
Hadi, 21, who plays for CD Madridejos in the Spanish Terceira division,
collapsed and died during his side?s home match against SP Cabanillas
on Sunday, February 5.
In a Castilla-La Mancha Football
Federation statement, Hadi reportedly collapsed ?for no apparent
reasons? in the 39th minute of the ill-fated match.
The
medical team on the ground at the Municipal Toledo ground immediately
came to his aide but efforts to revive him proved abortive as he was
later pronounced dead minutes after.
?The Castilla-La Mancha
Football Federation and Castilian-La Mancha football, with its President
Pablo Burillo at the helm, are totally dismayed at such an event,? the
statement added. ?For this reason, the federative body remains at the
disposal of CD Madridejos for everything it needs in these difficult
times.?
The 21-year-old Hadi last played in Nigeria with Jigawa Golden Stars.
Until his death, Hadi was one of the four Nigerian players playing for CD Madridejos.
Club Deportivo Madridejos is a football club based in Madridejos, Castile-La Mancha in Spain.
