The Tragedy took place after the confrontation between Nigeria and Ghana where Nigeria was beaten after a 1-1 score. The failure on the side of the Nigerians sparked anger which provoked spectators who invaded the stadium, destroying everything on their way.


It is in this line that Dr. Joseph Kabungo, medical officer who was assigned by the CAF as Doping officer of the game, succumb to death after he suffered a cardiac arrest.


The Council of Southern African Football Associations, COSAFA, confirmed the death of Dr Joseph Kabungo in a statement they released.


“It is a great and sad loss to the COSAFA zone, Dr Kabungo was always giving of his time and his expertise. He was a fine human being and will be sorely missed by everyone in our region,” COSAFA General Secretary Sue Destombes said.


In another statement, the president of the football association of Zambia expressed his condolences towards the family of the deceased.


We mourn the passing of our CAF/FIFA medical officer Dr Joseph Kabungo and we extend our sincere condolences to Dr Kabungo’s family and the football family at large,” Football Association of Zambia President Andrew Kamanga said.

“He was a dedicated and widely loved member of our football community and his impact was vast, having also been part of the 2012 Africa Cup [of Nations] winning team. His death is a huge loss as Dr Kabungo was a friend and confidant to many generations of players and their families.

“He was one of the outstanding Zambian football personalities that flew the Zambian flag at global football events. We all have to learn from his example of excellence and celebrate his legacy by breeding more hard working football Zambian administrators.”
