Nigeria international Olubayo Adefemi has died in a car accident, according to Greek police.
The 25-year-old defender, who played for Greek side Skoda Xanthi, is reported to have lost control of his car on the Egnatia motorway, near the city of Kavala, before the crash.
Adefemi was driving from Xanthi to Salonika in the Kavala region of northern Greece to finalise details of his wedding when the accident happened, police said.
The former Rapid Bucharest player made his Nigerian senior debut against Ireland on 29 May, 2009.
"The Super League and the entire Greek football family would like to express its deepest condolences and sympathy for the family of Olubayo Adefemi who died tragically in a car accident," league organisers said in a statement on Monday.
Adefemi signed for Xanthi last summer and made 24 appearances for the club, scoring twice.
He has also played three times for Nigeria.
