Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and its Ghana counterpart are mourning the death of their former players – Ifeanyichukwu Chiejine, ex-Super Falcons player and Junior Agogo, former Black Stars player.

NFF announced Chiejine’s demise on its Twitter handle @thenff, stating that she died on Wednesday after a brief illness at the age of 36.

She also played for FC Indiana in USA’s W-League, KMF Kuopio and PK-35 Vantaa in Finland and Zvezda Perm in Russia.

Chiejine was part of the Super Falcons’ squad to the 1999, 2003 and 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cups and the 2000 and 2008 Summer Olympics.

In another sad development, former Ghana striker and 2008 Africa Cup of Nations poster boy Junior Agogo is reported dead at age 40, GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively report.
