African Football Discussion Thread Current Topic: 👉 AFCON 2025/2026

If it's true that Nwabali left Chippa United because he's not sure of first team football, he took the best decision by terminating his contract with Chippa United in mutual consent so that he can go to a club where he will be a regular starter. If Nwabali gets to sign for Raja Club Athletic, I believe Nwabali will be loved by Raja Club Athletic fans, because it Senegal that Morocco has beef with.

If he feels disrespected by his former club then it is not bad for him to leave and move to a club which actually respects him but he should be wary of his next move because we have seen multiple cases where the club a player moves usually actually to where it is worse in terms of minutes to be played. As For Nwabali I think I an very well skeptical about this move to Morocco because regardless of whether the beef was with the Senegalese I can still remember Nwabali actually taunting them personally with a post about them keeping the towel to rub off their tears after the nation lost to Senegal and with all honesty I doubt he will be forgiven easily because that was one expensive banter and it’s the reason why they are actually banters that footballers do not need to participate in.

Nwabali isn't the kind of keeper to keep on the bench, even I wonder why the big teams in Europe hasn't come for him, only what  I know about Wabali is that he's a proudy goalkeeper and coupled with the issues of his error back passing, else why would Wabali be kept as a second choice keeper? In a team he finds himself.

Whatsoever decision we see the coach date for the players were all to the progress of the team, not all the players we have to play at the same time as we know, some we definitely be on the bench, while some will have to be on the first 11, is common and it does not undermine the potential of a player, instead, shows for more coordination and oriented planning the same has in other two work in hand with each other for the progress of the team as the manager decided on who should play or not at a given time.

Being proud of himself too much is even enough reason to why he would not get into a big club if he’s not careful. He’s a goalkeeper that I adore but when you feel no one can do it better than you do, then you’re being too proud and it’ll limit your success going further. Nwabali is a great goalkeeper and being used as a second choice goalkeeper is out of it, unless he’s keeping for a top team and only wants to have his name on the history of that team, if not he’ll go for a team he’ll be a first choice goalkeeper. He’s should work on his back pass errors too, that alone will limit or stop him from getting into a big team.

Nwabali isn't the kind of keeper to keep on the bench, even I wonder why the big teams in Europe hasn't come for him, only what  I know about Wabali is that he's a proudy goalkeeper and coupled with the issues of his error back passing, else why would Wabali be kept as a second choice keeper? In a team he finds himself.

Just as you have said his really a good goal keeper, Wabali's a talented keeper, and it's surprising he's not in a bigger European team. His confidence and skills make him a top contender. The back-pass errors are a concern, but they're fixable with work. Well I can said is that his time might’ve passed or he time has not yet come, and most of the time all this takes some time to discover such talented goal keeper like he, this is the more reason the NFF should have some like him in the team and not to take them for granted…

From the decision that Nwabali took it clear that he wants to leave for a bigger club that is why he decided to leave his present club right their in south Africa. Let see what he can do , I know that Nwabali is a great fool keeper and he has proven himself already their is no doubt when it comes to what he can do as a goal keeper. I just pray that he gets better offers from European teams so that he can leave the sows of Africa to a bigger clubs in Europe were the pay will be much more better and in a more comfortable environment in terms of training facilities compared to to here in Africa.

If Nwabali feels that he is not getting the respect he deserves in Chippa United, i must say that Nwabali took the right decision in terminating his contract with Chippa United so that he can look for another club that will shower him the respect he deserves. Since Nwabali has plenty of offers on the table, his agent should be able to choose the offer that will suit Nwabali and make him feel happy at his new club. Nwabali mocked Morocco after Senegal won the Afcon tournament, and Morocco fans have not forgotten about that, so i think Nwabali and his agent should never accept any offer that is coming from a club in Morocco if he does not want to ruin his career.

Coaches are the head of a team, and they make decisions for their team on how to start a game and finish it as well. Some coach always start their first eleven mixed up, while some bench why? because sometimes it is not reasonable to put all your eleven best workforce on display, because as time goes on, and when they are tired, they would need a replacement for their wing, and since the team has no more key players, they field whoever is available, and sometimes it can cost the team their match. This is why most coaches do not field their eleven best at the  beginning of games.

Stanley Nwabali has proven to be a very effective and reliable goalkeeper that is why you see him bench the likes of Maduka Okoye and Uzoho who play for better teams in Europe.
So if truly Chippa United wanted to bench him, it’s an insult to his person and I’m not sure Chippa has anyone better, maybe it was to be as a punishment for something he did or a misunderstanding.
My problem is what are his agents doing cos he should be playing for a much bigger club than this or even a bigger league like Europe, He has the Quality.

That's why during the time of players lineup you will see a different formation, some will have higher players focusing on there back while another club will have there players in front, soccer is like a draft a player will have to find out if the right side, left or the center is were they will get them to keep there opponent on wining state, if you have played or see how people play draft you will understand why i use it as how coaches think. A coach that uses all the strength of his club from beginning might be humbled by the other coach that doesn't use all because from 65 minutes is the time a club cannot get there opponent strategy weak if it was made strong when the resilience ones arrives.

A massive blow to have one of the finest sides from Africa absent. We have to make sure we get back to the next African Cup of Nations regardless next year and the same time win it. It's fvck you to the Nigerian football federation, we've sang this shit a billion times more than a song but nothing has been done. I don't know the plans they have, but it is mandatory we qualify. Finally, Super Eagles defensive midfielder Frank Onyeka has been reportedly announced with a move from Brentford to Coventry in the championship,  do you consider this a downgrade for a top quality player like him?! I think he needed that back to back game time,  so the move has got to be great.

The boys must have learnt their lesson. The World Cup is a 4-year interval competition, missing two world cup compeition in a row is a disaster. No player will want their career to end without a World Cup stat to show forth.

Victor Osimehn, Ademola Lookman,, and all the Super Eagle players need to put into consideration that the upcoming World Cup competition which will be in 5 years time, might be their last. That reason they must qualify.

They would have qualified for this 2026 World Cup, but because they are not serious that was why they were unable to qualify, if they had played the way they did in the African cup of nation surely they would have qualified for the World Cup. in the African cup of nation they performed very well, and everyone was surprised with the performance because they did not show that in the World Cup qualifiers competition they were drawing matches and losing matches even though those matches they were drawing and losing were matches they would have been winning. they should prepare and put all their focus in the next one, because it will be bad if they are retire without playing any World Cup competition.
