Veteran Goalkeeper Elizabeth Johnson is no more, the player died on Saturday according to the club statement.
Johnson who had shockingly trained with the team on Friday at the Akure township stadium had complained of having fever and feeling dizzy the following day.
The Goalkeeper was then taken to the hospital but unfortunately gave up before getting to the desired destination for treatment.
The late Elizabeth Johnson was an experienced Goalkeeper that had played for Sunshine Queens for a good number of seasons.
She was also part of the team that played the finals against Rivers Angels last season in the much-talked-about NWFL Premiership Super 6 that took place in IJebu Ode.
The Nigerian Women’s Football community were shocked as the news of her death filtered in late Saturday.
She will be missed by her teammates, friends, and loved ones.
Sunshine Queens are battling Relegation in the current season since the exit of up and doing Coach Wemimo Matthew who pitched tent with red-hot Edo Queens this season.
Edo Queens are sure to book a spot for the Super 6 ensuring Wemimo’s presence again at the top league while it is a tall dream for Sunshine Queens.
Arrangements for Elizabeth Johnson’s burial will be made public soonest.
