Nwabali Says Super Eagles Return Is Not His Focus Right Now

Nwabali Says Super Eagles Return Is Not His Focus Right Now

Stanley Nwabali is not thinking about the Super Eagles at the moment. The goalkeeper says his attention is on rebuilding his career at South African side Chippa United, the club he has just returned to after six months out of competitive football.

Nwabali, 30, has already featured in three PSL matches since coming back to Chippa. He left the club after Nigeria’s 2025 AFCON campaign in Morocco and spent several months sidelined before a renewed relationship with club chairman Siviwe Mpengesi opened the door back to the team he once played for.

“I’m only focused on helping my club pick up as many points as possible. So for now I’m not too worried about the National team,” Nwabali said. On the move back to Chippa, he added: “Coming back to this club feels like I’m coming back to my family and my home, and I’m really happy to be back on the pitch.”
