Chippa United Re-Sign Super Eagles Goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali
Chippa United have confirmed the return of Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, welcoming the Nigerian international back to the Eastern Cape ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The Betway Premiership club announced Nwabali’s return after the 30-year-old spent time away from the club following the expiration of his previous deal.
“After taking time away, Stanley Nwabali returns to the Eastern Cape, and we are pleased to welcome him back to the club,” Chippa United said in a statement.
“His experience, leadership and presence will once again be a valuable addition to the squad as we continue preparations for the season ahead. Welcome back, Stanley. We wish you every success in Chippa United colours.”
Nwabali returns to the club after establishing himself as one of the Betway Premiership’s most dependable goalkeepers during his first spell with the Chilli Boys.
Since joining Chippa United in 2022, he made 76 appearances across all competitions, keeping 25 clean sheets before leaving the club earlier this year.
His impressive performances at club level also earned him a regular place in Nigeria’s national team, where he has become the Super Eagles’ first-choice goalkeeper.
According to Transfermarkt, Chippa United is the club for which Nwabali has made the most appearances in his professional career.
