Vision FC is in mourning following the tragic passing of former captain, Habib Ganiu, whose death was officially confirmed by the club in a solemn statement released on X on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
The club’s announcement of Ganiu’s passing captured the pain and disbelief that now hangs over the Vision FC community.
In their official statement on X, the club paid tribute to the man who had become a symbol of resilience and leadership.
“We are greatly saddened to announce the passing of our player Habib Ganiu. All at the club send our heartfelt condolences to Habib’s family and friends in this difficult moment,” the post read.
Ganiu’s death has left the entire Ghanaian football fraternity in shock, especially those who watched him rise from a promising young defender to the heartbeat of Vision FC.
At just 26 years old, he had already etched his name into the club’s history books, most notably by captaining Vision FC to their first-ever promotion to the Ghana Premier League during the 2024/25 season.
Commanding at the back and calm under pressure, Ganiu was more than just a footballer; he was a leader, a brother, and a source of inspiration to many.
His influence extended beyond the pitch, where he was known for his humility, discipline, and deep sense of loyalty to the club he called home for over five years.
The cause of his death remains unclear, but the news has cast a dark cloud over Vision FC and its supporters.
Former teammates and fans across the country have begun sharing heartfelt tributes, remembering Ganiu not only for his talent but for the spirit and dignity with which he carried himself.
