Nwabali Assures Super Eagles Can Upset South Africa in Bloemfontein Clash

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali says Nigeria possesses the quality and resilience to secure a vital World Cup qualifying win against South Africa in Bloemfontein on Tuesday.
Speaking ahead of the crucial Group C clash, Nwabali expressed confidence despite the daunting challenge. “I feel like we have a very strong squad to match any country. I don’t see it as a big thing to us,” he told NFF TV. “I feel we will win that game.”
He emphasized that facing Nigeria requires a different tactical approach from opponents, underlining the high stakes involved: Nigeria currently sit third in the group with 10 points, trailing leader South Africa by six. A victory would reinvigorate their campaign ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
