Amas Obasogie is motivated by the rise of Stanley Nwabali as the Super Eagles number one, Afrosport reports.
Nwabali has been the mainstay between the sticks for Nigeria since debuting at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast where the team finished as runners-up.
Nwabali started his career back home with Go Round FC, Enyimba, Wikki Tourists and Katsina United before moving to South Africa to play for Chippa United. Obasogie, similarly started at Bendel Insurance and is presently with Tanzanian side Singida Black Stars, and hopes to make his mark with the Super Eagles.
“I respect the effort Stanley Nwabali has put into claiming the number one shirt.,” he told The Cable.
“Remember, he also proved himself in the NPFL before doing the same at Chippa United. So being in the Eagles camp is a huge opportunity for me.”
Obasogie added: “I respect all the players, and the experience improves me tremendously.
“I train with the mentality that I am a Super Eagles goalkeeper and dream of myself putting on the national team jersey. If the opportunity comes to represent Nigeria, I aim to play my part and take it fully.”
