Why Stanley Nwabali Was Not Invited for Super Eagles Games against Iran and Jordan Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali was left out of the squad for Nigeria’s upcoming friendly matches against Iran national football team and Jordan national football team due to his current club situation. Head Coach Eric Chelle named a 23-man squad for the games, selecting Maduka Okoye, Adebayo Adeleye and Francis Uzoho as his goalkeepers. Nwabali, who was Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper in recent matches, is currently without a club after ending his contract with Chippa United by mutual agreement last month. His status as a free agent is believed to be the main reason for his omission, as the coaching crew prefers players who are actively playing at club level and maintaining match fitness. Despite concerns over his future, the 29-year-old has remained calm, insisting he is not under pressure to rush into a new deal. “I’m not worried. Not at all,” he said. “I don’t have a specific country or destination in mind. Anywhere that welcomes me, I’m ready to play.” Nwabali added that he is waiting patiently for the right opportunity, even though he currently has no offer on the table. “There is no contract in front, there is no club in front. And I am not guaranteeing you that a club will come today or tomorrow,” he said. While his absence is a notable one, the Super Eagles will hope their selected goalkeepers can step up in the friendly matches as preparations continue for future competitions.
