A Nigerian player, Ado Hadi, with CD Madridejos in the Spanish Terceira division, collapsed and died during his side’s home match against SP Cabanillas on Sunday.
In a Castilla-La Mancha Football Federation statement, Hadi reportedly collapsed “for no apparent reasons” in the 39th minute of the ill-fated match, a report by The Newsmen.
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 also 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 Ado Hadi last played in Nigeria with Jigawa Golden Stars.
Until his death, Hadi was also one of the four Nigerian players playing for CD Madridejos.
