A 21-year-old Ugandan footballer, Herbert Afaayo have reportedly collapsed and died after colliding with a goalkeeper during training .

The players of Lugazi Municipality football club in Buikwe District, Uganda were training in Geregere, an outskirt of Lugazi Thursday when one of their team mate died on the pitch.

According to report, Afaayo was in action trying to chase a ball to score when he accidentally collided with the team’s goalkeeper Geoffrey Leku before collapsing.

The team’s efforts to resuscitate him as first line of first aid failed and their attempt to rush him to hospital were too late.

“He was running fast with the ball before colliding with the goalkeeper and collapsing on the pitch,” the team’s head coach, Daniel Segawa told Daily Monitor Uganda on Friday morning.
