Super Eagles first-choice goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, has caught the attention of fans after unveiling a striking new look ahead of Nigeria’s opening match against Tanzania at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Chippa United shot-stopper stepped into camp sporting a blonde hairstyle, a fresh appearance that has quickly become a talking point among supporters and teammates alike as anticipation builds for the tournament.
Nwabali’s new look is widely seen as a reflection of his growing confidence and mental readiness as Nigeria prepares to begin its AFCON 2025 campaign.
The 29-year-old has firmly established himself as a vital figure in the Super Eagles setup since breaking into the national team during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire.
During that tournament, the former Enyimba and Katsina United goalkeeper delivered a series of impressive performances, keeping four clean sheets and playing a key role in Nigeria’s run to the final.
His calm presence, shot-stopping ability, and command of the penalty area earned him widespread praise and cemented his status as the team’s undisputed number one.
As the Super Eagles gear up for their Group opener against Tanzania, all eyes will once again be on Nwabali, whose experience, confidence, and form will be crucial to Nigeria’s quest for continental glory in Morocco.
