Super Eagles captain William Troost-Ekong led the tribute, acknowledging Nwabali’s resilience and commitment despite his personal grief.
“On behalf of the team, we dedicate this victory to Stanley (Nwabali); he has been through a lot,” Ekong stated. “He has been an integral part of the team, and he was fantastic again today.”
Nwabali delivered a solid performance in Friday’s match, helping Nigeria secure an important win on their road to the World Cup. Ekong emphasised that the triumph was a result of the collective effort of the team, who share a strong bond both on and off the pitch.
“The victory was made possible by the entire team, who enjoy a great spirit like a big family,” he added.
The Super Eagles’ gesture highlights the camaraderie within the squad as they continue their qualifying campaign with unity and determination.
