Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has generously gifted his former grassroots coach and Nigerian football legend, Nduka Ugbade, a brand-new car. Ugbade, who coached Ndidi at the U-17 level before Ndidi moved to Europe, was visibly delighted by the gift during a recent visit while Ndidi was on holiday in Nigeria after the 2025 Unity Cup.

Nduka Ugbade is a celebrated figure in Nigerian football, having been part of the squad that won the inaugural FIFA U-17 World Cup in 1985 and later serving as a coach for the 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup-winning team.

Ndidi’s gesture has been widely praised by fans and the football community for honoring the man who helped shape his early career.
