Stanley Nwabali, the Chippa United goalie, has confidently declared that the Super Eagles possess the talent and quality to outdo South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in their upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier match.
The Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana are set to clash in a highly anticipated matchday three encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo next Friday.
Nwabali believes the Super Eagles have the skills to overtake them despite Bafana Bafana currently occupying second place in Group C with three points.
“Football is the same everywhere, but I don’t feel that, with the kind of players we have, we can have any challenge in any game, especially in our group.
“But you cannot predict football,” the goalie told Lagos Talks.
When asked about the South African players, Nwabali acknowledged their talent but expressed his faith in the Super Eagles.
“Talking about South African players, I would say I know them. We have good players in our country too, so I’m not talking about those guys; they are good in their own way of playing. I’m not talking about them because if we can put ourselves together, they cannot match us,” he stated.
The match promises to be an intense battle for the Group C ticket to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Truth Live News reports.
