Super Eagles goalkeeper Amas Obasogie has etched his name into Tanzanian football history, lifting his first trophy with Singida Fountain Gate FC (popularly known as the Singida Black Stars) after their triumph in the 2025 CECAFA Kagame Cup.
The 24-year-old Nigerian shot-stopper, who made a high-profile move from Bendel Insurance earlier this year, was a key figure in Singida’s victorious campaign.
His heroics between the sticks played a decisive role in ensuring the Tanzanian outfit claimed one of East and Central Africa’s most prestigious titles.
Obasogie, already regarded as one of the most promising goalkeepers in Nigeria, produced a string of commanding displays throughout the tournament. His excellent reflex saves, aerial dominance, and calm distribution earned him plaudits from fans and pundits alike.
In the semifinal, he pulled off two breathtaking saves in the closing minutes to preserve a narrow lead, while in the final he kept a vital clean sheet that sealed the historic win for Singida.
For Obasogie, this trophy is more than just silverware – it represents his first career title outside Nigeria and a huge confidence booster ahead of the new NBC Premier League season.
It also strengthens his case for a regular spot in the Super Eagles squad, where competition for the goalkeeping position remains intense.
Speaking after the victory, the delighted goalkeeper dedicated the success to his teammates and fans:
“Winning the Kagame Cup means so much to me. This is my first trophy outside Nigeria, and I’m proud to achieve it with Singida. The fans have been amazing, and I’m motivated to keep working harder both for my club and my country.”
With this win, Singida Black Stars not only boost their profile on the continental stage but also set the tone for what promises to be an exciting season.
For Obasogie, it is a career-defining moment and a signal that Nigeria may have found its next long-term guardian between the posts.
