Late Head Coach of Bayelsa Queens Football Club, Domo Okara
The Nigeria Football Federation has described as shocking and very sad, the death on Saturday of Head Coach of Bayelsa Queens Football Club, Domo Okara.
We are shocked and saddened beyond words. In all sincerity, we are still trying to process the report. I have spoken to a lot of people who said they interacted with him days earlier and he was hale and hearty. This is a very sorrowful development.
Okara was one of the pillars of women football coaching in the country. Indeed, it is a period of mourning for the womens game in our country because the man was more than a coach. He was a mentor, a leader and an inspiration to many. We pray that God will give him eternal rest and also grant the immediate family, his friends, Bayelsa Queens FC family and Nigeria football the fortitude to bear this sudden and big loss, NFF General Secretary, Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, said
Domo Okara, who led Bayelsa Queens to win the Nigeria Women Premier League title in 2022 and also won the Federation Cup with the team the following year, was reported to have died suddenly on Saturday morning.
He led the team from Yenagoa to win the bronze medals at the 2nd edition of the CAF Womens Champions League competition in Morocco “ the only Nigerian team to have achieved that feat. (Text, excluding headline: The Nation)
