Former Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong is currently stranded in Qatar following the suspension of flights amid rising geopolitical instability, reports Soccernet.
The 32-year-old defender recently joined Qatari club Al Ahli SC after departing Saudi Arabia earlier this year.
With regional conflicts intensifying, Qatar has temporarily halted air travel, leaving Troost-Ekong and other international figures grounded.
Military confrontations between Iran and Israel have disrupted normal operations across the Gulf region.
Iran launched retaliatory strikes targeting strategic sites, attributing previous attacks to the U.S. and Israel.
Qatar’s Defense Ministry also intercepted incoming missiles, activating emergency security protocols.
The closure of airspace has impacted numerous travelers, expatriates, and athletes, including Troost-Ekong, who remains in Qatar until further notice.
