The Football Legends Association (FLA) has expressed deep sorrow following the death of former Blue Eagles FC goalkeeper, Elijah Enyama Msukwa, who was also a dedicated member of the association.
In a statement, FLA described Msukwa as a passionate, humble, and committed figure whose service to the football community—both on and off the pitch—will always be remembered and cherished.
According to the association, Msukwa died after suffering from high blood pressure complications.
FLA President Jim Kalua said the organisation is devastated by the loss, noting that Msukwa was a loyal and active member who contributed greatly to the growth of football in the country.
His death comes just days after the association also lost another member, former Flames striker Esau Kanyenda, who passed away last Tuesday in the United Kingdom.
FLA has extended heartfelt condolences to Msukwa’s family, friends, and everyone who was close to him during this difficult time. The association says funeral details will be communicated in due course.
May his soul rest in eternal peace.
