The 19-year-old shot-stopper is on a break during the festive period and decided to use the period to tie the knot with his partner.

According to a report by Complete Sports, Uzoho had two of his Super Eagles teammates in attendance which included Galatasaray forward Henry Onyekuru and Bordeaux forward Samuel Kalu who both scored for their respective clubsides before going on a break.

The ceremony reportedly was held at Anglican Cathedral playground, Egbu in Owerri, Imo State.

In the report there was little detail about Uzoho's partner as there were very few pictures of the ceremony.
