Super Eagles and Udinese goalkeeper, Emilio Maduka Okoye, is relishing his competition with Stanley Nwabali as they both eye the number one spot in the Nigerian National team,
Nwabali was in goal during the 2025 Unity Cup but was excused from Eric Chelle's team as he returned to Nigeria to complete his parents' burial.
Okoye started between the sticks in yesterday's friendly game against Russia, and he made three strong saves as the Super Eagles played out a 1-1 draw at the Luzhniki Stadium.
