Enyimba Football Club is in mourning after learning of the very tragic and untimely passing of our former captain Chinedu Udoji.
Words can in no way convey the depth of our pain nor the intensity of our anguish. What we can however do in this period of our sadness is to pray for God to strengthen the young family he leaves behind, the teammates he so passionately inspired and his friends and fans across the country.
Udoji joined our club in 2009 and served as captain for five seasons before his departure in 2016 to Kano Pillars. He was a ferocious captain and leader on the pitch but a warm and gentle friend off it. During his time in Aba, he won two league titles, two Federation Cups and reached the semi-final of the CAF Champions League.
A legend worthy of the Enyimba captain band, he will remain in our hearts forever.
May God grant his soul eternal rest.
