Super Eagles Goalie Stanley Nwabali Sparks Rift Rumors with Teammate Osimhen

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali's cryptic social media post following Nigeria's 4-0 win against Benin Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers has stirred speculation of a rift with teammate Victor Osimhen. Nwabali's recent on-field behavior, including a clash with Wilfred Ndidi and Calvin Bassey, has fueled rumors of tension within the squad.

Despite criticism from fans, head coach Eric Chell has backed Nwabali, who has remained silent on the issue. The post mentioning Osimhen's shirt number has left the true meaning open to interpretation, adding to the ongoing controversy.
