The Nigeria Football Federation has condoled with the
FCT Referee Council and the entire refereeing fraternity in Nigeria over the
death on Monday, 21st April 2025 of a former FIFA Assistant Referee, Bosede
Momoh.
Momoh was said to have passed away at the National
Hospital, Abuja after protracted illness.
General Secretary of NFF, Dr Mohammed Sanusi,
expressed “very deep sorrow” over the passing of the former arbiter, describing
her as a “gentle but firm and conscientious referee” who endeared herself to
all with her amiable manners, dedication to the cause, fairness and utmost
discipline.
“Late Bosede Momoh was kind-hearted and of good
character, yet firm and diligent in her duties. The NFF and the entire Nigeria
football fraternity will miss her, as she was still contributing meaningfully
to the game even after her retirement as a FIFA referee. She was a National
Physical Fitness instructor and also an assessor with the Nigeria Premier
Football League.
“She left a good name, and we pray that the Almighty
will grant her eternal rest, and also grant her friends, family and other loved
ones, and the refereeing fraternity, the fortitude to bear the big loss.”
