Nwabali A Doubt For Super Eagles vs DR Congo Final Clash

Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali’s availability for Nigeria’s 2026 World Cup qualifying playoff final against DR Congo remains uncertain.

Nigeria will face the Leopards in the final of the qualifying playoff in Morocco on Sunday.

The South Africa-based goalkeeper played the entire full time after sustaining an injury in the closing stages of Nigeria’s 4-1 win over Gabon.

Nwabali chose to continue between the posts despite Udinese’s Maduka Okoye warming up to replace the Chippa United shot-stopper.

The goalkeeper participated in partial training on Friday, while the other two goalkeepers, Okoye and Amas Obasogie, completed their full training drills.

Manager Eric Chelle is awaiting a full medical report before confirming whether Nwabali will start against DR Congo.

The Super Eagles will line up against DR Congo on Sunday in Rabat, Morocco.
