At the forefront of this discussion is the rightful claim to the first-choice goalkeeper spot. Since Peseiro assumed the managerial reins in 2022, Uzoho has been the go-to goalkeeper, barring a suspension-induced absence against Sierra Leone. While excelling for Omonia Nicosia in Cyprus, Uzoho has struggled to replicate that form in the Super Eagles jersey. The dark horse in this race is Stanley Nwabili, a 27-year-old custodian plying his trade with Chippa United in the South African Premier Soccer League. The stage is set, and the Super Eagles await their custodian to rise and guard the nation’s dreams.
