Upon his return, Nigeria’s goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, was greeted with open arms at Chippa United in South Africa, marking a heartwarming moment on Tuesday.
Rejoining Chippa United post his exceptional performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, the 27-year-old was welcomed by a throng of eager fans at Port Elizabeth Airport.
The goalkeeper happily posed for selfies with enthusiasts and enthusiastically chimed in on the club’s spirited chants.
Chippa United lauded his return, stating, “He’s Back @NwabaliBobo,” on their official social media account.
Nwabali’s stellar display for Nigeria during the AFCON 2023 finals had won him accolades, including cash gifts, a national commendation, and even a chieftaincy title in his hometown.
Rumors have linked him with a potential move away from Chippa United, with reported interest from Kaizer Chiefs and Union St Gilloise for his exceptional services.
