The NFF wrote: โ€œFormer National U17 and U20 goalkeeper John Felagha has died. Felagha died on Sunday in Senegal. He was aged 26. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.โ€
In a related development,  NFF were also thrown into mourning following the death on Saturday evening of the Federationโ€™s Head of ICT, Mr. Tolulope Abe.
