Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas made a beautiful gesture toward Wilfred Ndidi after their game against Konyaspor on Saturday, Soccernet.ng reports.
Last Tuesday, news broke that Ndidi had lost his father, Sunday Ndidi, in a car accident. He was hit by a car in Umunede, Delta State.
Ndidi's loss came just two days before his Super Eagles teammate, Samuel Chukwueze, lost his mother after a brief illness.
The loss was undoubtedly a big blow to the 29-year-old defensive midfielder, who took to social media to express his grief.
Ndidi has received many condolence messages since his loss. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), President Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and several of his teammates have all sent their sympathies.
Besiktas' Kind Gesture to Wilfred Ndidi
Despite losing his father just a few days prior, Wilfred Ndidi played for Besiktas in their 2-1 win over Konyaspor at the Tupras Stadium. In fact, he played 68 minutes for the former Turkish champions.
After the game, Besiktas made a thoughtful gesture to show their support. A tribute was displayed on the stadium projector as a way to commiserate with Ndidi.

Ndidi was obviously emotional, as the club paid tribute to his late dad. Recall that his father was a big football fan.
During the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, Ndidi even dedicated a goal to his father due to his love for Nwankwo Kanu.
