Soma hapo chini


A Nigerian player with Belgian fifth-tier club Merksem SC passed away on Sunday during his side’s match against FC Kaart at the Jef Mermansstadion stadium in the Merksem district of Antwerp.


Defender Bobsam Elejiko, 30, suddenly passed out in the second half without contact from any other player, the club’s media officer Ronny Van Kets told Demorgen.be on Monday.


The match was halted as Merksem’s physiotherapist and a head nurse administered first aid before the arrival of a team of doctors in an ambulance, Van Kets said.


Doctors spent 40 minutes trying to revive the Nigerian in vain.


“With deep sadness we announce the sudden death of Bobsam Elejiko,” the club said in a statement.


“He collapsed and died suddenly on the pitch and our thoughts are with his family and friends.”


The Nigerian had a background in the Belgian first division.


After a two-year stay at Turnhout, he played four seasons for Westerlo before relocating to Antwerp, where he couldn’t find his feet, and in 2008 he moved to Portuguese sidee Beira Mar.


After several failed trials, the defender returned to Belgium.
