Amoo Urges Okoye to Seize No.1 Spot Against Iran and Jordan

Former Shooting Stars coach Fatai Amoo says Maduka Okoye faces a crucial test in Nigeria’s upcoming friendlies against Iran and Jordan. He must prove he deserves to keep the Super Eagles’ No.1 goalkeeper spot over Stanley Nwabali. Nwabali missed out on coach Finidi George’s 23-man squad due to his free-agent status after leaving Chippa United in February 2026. Okoye’s strong performances for Udinese in Serie A have earned him this chance. Amoo believes a solid showing will cement Okoye’s place between the posts.
