Stanley Nwabali

Super Eagles goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali is glad to see Maduka Okoye return to the Super Eagles fold.

The shot stopper who established himself as the Super Eagles first choice goalkeeper at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations said there is no rivalry between them.

Okoye has been brought back to the team by head coach Finidi George following a standout first season at Serie A club Udinese.

The ex-Watford goalkeeper’s return is expected to increase competition in the goalkeeping department.

“There’s no debate. If Maduka can give what he’s giving Udinese to the country, then he should play,” Nwabali told Lagos Talks.

“It’s not like a club side, where you see a new signing and you talk about fighting, No. This is the country we are playing for, we are representing this green white green, and we want to see everyone happy.”
