The release described the news of Isaac Promise's death as a great shock and pray God to grant the NFF and family, the fortitude to bear the loss.

"He was the Captain of the Beijing Olympics’ Eagles squad that won silver. He was also the Captain of the U-20 Holland 2005 Silver winning team. Our  thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time. May his soul rest in eternal peace", the release said.
