Vision FC is in mourning following the sudden and untimely death of defender Habib Ganiu, a key figure in the club’s historic promotion and survival in the Ghana Premier League.
The club confirmed Ganiu’s passing in a heartfelt statement on Tuesday but did not disclose the cause of death. His loss has left a deep void at the heart of the team, particularly after a season where he played a pivotal role in helping Vision FC avoid relegation during their debut campaign in the top flight.
“We are greatly saddened to announce the passing of our player Habib Ganiu,” the club said in an emotional message. “All at the club send our heartfelt condolences to Habib’s family and friends in this difficult moment. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥, 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐨!”
Known for his leadership qualities and composure in defense, Ganiu was more than just a player—he was a cornerstone of Vision FC’s identity and progress. His commanding presence on the pitch and unwavering commitment made him a fan favorite and a respected figure in the dressing room.
Tributes have begun pouring in from fellow players, fans, and football officials across the country, recognizing not only Ganiu’s talent but also his humility and sportsmanship.
Vision FC, who only recently secured their stay in the Premier League against the odds, must now grapple with this unexpected heartbreak as they prepare for the new season without one of their most dependable leaders.
The club has not announced funeral arrangements yet, but a memorial is expected in the coming days.
