A former Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) player, Ado Hadi, on Sunday, slumped and died in Spain.
Hadi who until his death, played with a Spanish Terceira division club CD, Madridejos, passed away while playing a home match against SP Cabanillas.
A statement by Castilla-La Mancha Football Federation said Hadi 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.
“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.
“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.
A number of Nigerian footballers including Super Eagles winger, Samuel Chukwueze ply their trade in Spain.
