Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Dele Aiyenugba, has urged the national team to maintain their faith in Stanley Nwabali as the primary goalkeeper amid increasing competition for the position.
Aiyenugba expressed his satisfaction with the resurgence of Maduka Okoye and highlighted the importance of a competitive environment to keep Nwabali sharp.
“Nwabali has proven his worth in the Nations Cup, and we should continue with him as our number one,” Aiyenugba stated.
“It’s great that we have strong alternatives like Maduka Okoye and Enyimba captain Ojo Olorunleke. This depth is crucial as it ensures Nwabali stays on his toes.”
Aiyenugba reflected on his own career, noting the positive impact of healthy competition.
“During my time, the competition with Vincent Enyeama kept us all sharp and focused. This kind of environment is vital for any team’s success.”
He added, “I’m happy to see Okoye back on his feet. Nwabali should remain in goal, with the others supporting and pushing him. Their time will come too, and that’s the nature of being a goalkeeper.”
The Super Eagles now face the prospect of a fierce battle for the starting spot, which Aiyenugba believes will only strengthen the team’s goalkeeping department.
