Gabon international striker Aaron Boupendza has died after falling from a building in China. Boupendza, 28, reportedly passed away after falling from the 11th floor.
He had been playing for the Chinese side Zhejiang, having transferred from Rapid Bucharest earlier this year. The Gabonese Football Federation confirmed the tragic news on Wednesday.
“At 28, Boupendza is remembered as a great striker who left a lasting impression at the African Cup of Nations in Cameroon (in 2022),” FEGAFOOT said in a statement.
“Trained at CF Mounana and Bordeaux in France, the Gabonese striker joined the Chinese league after a brief spell in Romania.”
