Slovenian Club Sacks Nigerian Player After Impregnating The President's Daughter

 A Nigerian footballer has reportedly been sacked by a professional football club in Slovenia following a controversial personal relationship involving the club president’s daughter, according to DAILY Post reports from Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

Local sources familiar with the development revealed that the unnamed Nigerian player, who had only recently signed with the Slovenian team, was shown the exit door after it was discovered he was romantically involved with the president’s daughter. The relationship allegedly resulted in a pregnancy, creating internal friction within the club's hierarchy and leading to immediate disciplinary action.

The identities of both the player and the young woman involved have been kept confidential due to privacy concerns. However, individuals with close knowledge of the situation disclosed that the matter quickly escalated beyond standard club protocols. As a result, the management opted to terminate the player's contract ahead of its expiration, describing his conduct as damaging to the club’s image and a breach of internal ethical standards.

An insider shared that the club invoked a clause relating to “conduct detrimental to the club’s image and internal code of ethics,” justifying the termination of the player's contract. The incident has sparked diverse reactions within Slovenia’s football circles. While some believe the punishment was overly severe for a personal affair, others maintain that foreign professionals are held to higher behavioral expectations and must adhere strictly to club regulations.

Efforts to obtain an official comment from the club's executives were unsuccessful as of press time. However, a club official who chose to remain anonymous clarified the rationale behind the club’s decision.

According to the source, “the decision was not based on nationality but on the need to maintain professional boundaries and discipline within the team.”

The case has since become a talking point in the local sports community, drawing attention to the challenges that foreign players may face when personal issues intersect with professional obligations. Despite being a private matter, the incident's implications on the team’s image reportedly left the club with no alternative but to take decisive action
