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 Nation says.

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, according to The Nation.

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. Founded in 1968, the team plays in Tercera División Group 18. The club’s home ground is Nuevo Estadio, with a 2,000-seat capacity, The Nation says.

Oh no !


After all the stress, strains and sweats to get to the point of getting a club outside the country.


Now he's no more.


There's really nothing in this life !


Don't clubs run comprehensive fitness tests ?

You are 35 claiming 21. They put you on training regime and diet for 21 year olds and you couldn't handle it.

Karma.

Why do the physically active collapse
I thought exercises are good for the health

Foreign clubs run extensive medical checkup on their players
Why wasn't his condition detected

Probably was still feeding on Amala and Ewedu in Spain.

The result isn't surprising

This guy? 21 years?


Kai..This guy na person grandfather now

May he rest in peace.

It depends on the individual's health status

Damn!

God knows I dread this issue of sudden slumping and dying that's now rampant.

In a jiffy, all could end like a flash.

This life self.

Rest in peace.

🙏🏾

He died hustling.... RIP

I'm no doctor but from the "little" I know from talking to them exercising does not cure heart diseases. it only helps in maintaining a "perfect" heart. most of these collapses are cardiac arrests that are usually caused by heart diseases.

Secondly, most of these competitive players don't exercise to stay fit like the average Joe. they exercise to be better than other players which makes them do demanding tasks to get ahead. You and I running half a kilometre is good exercise while they need to do much better than that. This takes a toll on their bodies as they need to keep pushing it past the limits then push further.

thirdly, a lot of these sportsmen take medications and PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) to gain that competitive edge over others and while it might work for them it usually leads to health issues

Terrible lose ,this is how my kid brother died in Europe in August 15 2015...the pains of the family of this boy will be much now ...probably he made so many promises to his family and friends like my brother did only to die suddenly and the promises remained unfulfilled and the pain of losing someone who u can use to brag about among friends is another difficult pain to bear such was my case because we are doing great as family but the thought of having a good footballer who could become famous in Europe was our pride but then the dream ends abruptly...rest on young man rest on my brother abidi pele

When you lie and age cheat, this is part of the price to pay!


How can a man close to 40 be dragging pitch and running around with kids of 18 to 21, and you expect your heart not to give out!

Not when the person have a hidden health issue

Or the person is not aware of his health challenges

The jab

Is it that they just don't care. A black baseball player would have died the same way in the USA if not for emergency response.
