Peter Rufai endorses Stanley Nwabali as the top choice for the Super Eagles’ [/b]goalkeeper position, citing Nwabali's exceptional performances during the 2023 AFCON.
The former Nigerian goalkeeper, part of the 1994 AFCON-winning team, sees Nwabali as a solution to Nigeria’s goalkeeping challenges since the exits of Vincent Enyeama and Carl Ikeme, stating this in an interview with Completesports.
Nwabali's surprising addition to the Nigerian AFCON squad turned heads, and his outstanding performances, including crucial penalty saves, contributed to Nigeria securing a silver medal in the tournament.
Rufai emphasizes that Nwabali's consistency and remarkable displays throughout the tournament justify him retaining the position of the Super Eagles’ first-choice goalkeeper.
