Nigeria’s preparations for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) took a promising step forward on Sunday with the arrival of goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali at the Super Eagles’ camp in Cairo. As the second player to report for training, Nwabali’s presence emphasizes the team’s commitment and determination as they gear up for the tournament.
His arrival is particularly encouraging amidst recent injury concerns, providing reassurance to head coach Eric Chelle and the technical staff as they intensify their preparations.
Meanwhile, Francis Uzoho, Nigeria’s number one goalkeeper, set an excellent example by arriving first, shortly after 2:00 am local time on Sunday, showcasing his dedication to the national team.
With both goalkeepers now together in camp, the Super Eagles are building momentum as they prepare for their friendly match against the Pharaohs of Egypt on December 16.
The coaching staff is already settled at the Renaissance Hotels in Cairo, and the remaining squad members are expected to join soon, ready to kick off their Group C campaign against Tanzania, Tunisia, and Uganda.
