Black in Albanian football/ Former Egnatia and Lushnja striker dies at the age

Albanian football has been shocked by a serious news, after former Lushnja and Egnatia player, Nigerian James Ayinde, passed away at the age of 24. The Nigerian striker failed to win the battle with a serious illness, as he was suffering from kidney cancer. The news was shared with pain by Lushnja captain, Mikel Canka.

The news has deeply affected the sports community, while the Lushnja club reacted with an emotional message on social media, honoring the figure of their former player.

"With deep sorrow we received the news of the untimely passing of our former player, James Ayinde. He proudly wore the Lushnja jersey, making his contribution and leaving unforgettable memories for the fans and the Lushnja sports community. He will be remembered for his dedication, passion and fighting spirit in every match," the club's response states.

In its message, the club emphasizes that the loss is not only sporting, but also human, describing Ayinde as part of their family.

Condolences have been expressed to his family, friends and all those who knew him, including from the head of the Albanian Football Federation, Armand Duka.

"Saddened by the news of the passing, at such a young age, of former KF Egnatia striker James Ayinde. A young man, with dreams and passion for football, who fought with strength until the end in the most difficult battle of his life. His contribution with the Egnatia jersey and then with KF Lushnja will always remain part of the memory of Albanian football. In these difficult moments, I express my most sincere condolences to the Ayinde family, relatives, friends and the entire football community that knew and appreciated him," Duka wrote.

James Gbenga Ayinde has been part of Egnatia since the summer of 2022, having also won the Albanian Cup with the Rrogozhina team. After Egnatia, he was loaned for another season with Lushnja, where he played 24 games and scored seven goals.
