Nigerian-born international defender, Olubayo Adefemi, has died in a car crash in Greece.

Reports said the Greek police confirmed the death of the Skoda Xanthi player, who lost control of his car while on his way to finalise details of his wedding.

The 25-year-old was driving from Xanthi to Salonika in the Kavala region of northern Greece.

”The Super League and the entire Greek football family would like to express its deepest condolences and sympathy for the family of Olubayo Adefemi who died tragically in a car accident,” a statement from the league organisers reads.

The former Rapid Bucharest made 24 appearances for Xanthi with two goals to his name, and he was capped three times for Nigeria.
