Stanley Nwabali reflects on failed Europe move after AFCON

Posted : 03 October 2024

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Bobo Nwabali, who plays for Chippa United, has shared his feelings regarding the transfer speculations that surrounded him after an impressive performance at the AFCON 2023 tournament. The 28-year-old gained attention from several clubs in Europe and Saudi Arabia following his vital role in helping Nigeria reach the finals, where he recorded four clean sheets in seven matches.


Chippa United's CEO, Siviwe Mpengesi, expressed uncertainty about the club's ability to retain Nwabali due to the numerous options available to him. Despite the speculation and potential opportunities, a transfer did not materialize, and Nwabali ultimately signed a new three-year contract with the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) club.


Nwabali reflected on the situation, stating that he was not significantly affected by the transfer talks. He acknowledged that in football, situations can vary; sometimes deals succeed, and at other times, they fall through. He emphasized that, as a player, it is essential not to lose confidence or diminish one’s worth despite the ups and downs of potential transfers.


He noted, "I felt like I might leave the club with all that was going on, but I’m still here, and it doesn’t change anything." This statement underscores his commitment to Chippa United and his resilience in the face of uncertainty regarding his career.


Recently, during the September international break, Nwabali further solidified his position as Nigeria’s first-choice goalkeeper by maintaining two clean sheets in two friendly matches against Rwanda and the Republic of Benin. His performances have strengthened his standing in the national team despite facing competition from other goalkeepers, like Maduka Okoye.


Nwabali's ability to focus on his game, regardless of transfer rumors, highlights his dedication to improving as a player and contributing to his club and country. He remains committed to his role at Chippa United, where he continues to develop and showcase his skills.


As he looks ahead, Nwabali is eager to build on his successes with both Chippa United and the Super Eagles, aiming to further his career while remaining grounded in his current responsibilities.
