“You NEED a stylist” - Super Eagles’ Nwabali called out over his fashion choices
Super Eagles of Nigeria goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, hailed for his exceptional performance at the recent Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), has found himself under scrutiny, not for his goalkeeping skills, but for his fashion choices.
Despite his on-field heroics, Nwabali's off-field attire has sparked debate among fans and critics alike.
Nwabali, who boasts a massive following on social media, recently ignited a fashion frenzy when he posted a photo on his Instagram page with over 796,000 followers, donning a custom-made Nigeria Nike shirt paired with joggers and an Adidas Trefoil baseball cap.
While some praised his simplicity, others were quick to criticize, with one fan bluntly suggesting, "You need a stylist."
This isn't the first time Nwabali's wardrobe has come under fire.
Just weeks ago, as he was honoured with a Chieftaincy title in Rivers State, fans raised eyebrows over his outfit choice for the occasion.
Despite his penchant for simplicity, Nwabali's love for Nike Air Force 1 sneakers seems to remain a constant in his wardrobe.
Super Eagles: Nwabali’s injury scare ahead of International friendlies
While the spotlight shines on Nwabali's fashion sense, there have been concerns over his fitness following reports of an injury sustained during a Premier Soccer League game between Chippa United and Mamelodi Sundowns.
However, despite the setback, the 27-year-old goalkeeper is expected to recover in time for the team's upcoming international friendly matches later this month.
