Nwabali & Okoye Omitted as Okonkwo Earns Dream Call-Up in Super Eagles’ Unity Cup Squad
Head coach Eric Chelle has unveiled a 27-man Super Eagles squad to defend Nigeria’s Unity Cup title in London, surprisingly leaving out goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali and Maduka Okoye. Arsenal academy graduate Arthur Okonkwo receives his first Super Eagles call-up alongside Cyprus-based Francis Uzoho and NPFL standout Michael Atata. The team will open their defence against Zimbabwe at Charlton Athletic’s The Valley on May 26. A win secures a place in the final against the winner of Jamaica vs India. Chelle’s selection blends experienced internationals like Wilfred Ndidi with hungry NPFL talents such as Aderemi Adeoye and Chibueze Oputa.
