AFCON 2023: I want Super Eagles to face South Africa in the semifinals - Nwabali.

AFCON 2023: I want Super Eagles to face South Africa in the semifinals in Nwabali.

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali says he hopes the Super Eagles face Bafana Bafana of South Africa in the semifinal of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 in Cote d'Ivoire.

The Super Eagles will face the winner in the game between Cape Verde and South Africa, following the team's 1-0 victory against Angola in Friday's encounter.

Nwabali, who plays in the South African Premier League for Chippa United, says he's familiar with South African players and would want to "test his defence" against them.

"Both Cape Verde and South Africa are good teams, but I want to play against South Africa," Nwabali told reporters.

"I really wish to see how my defence will fare against them.

"Yes, most of their players know me, and I also know them."

Nwabali has only conceded once in the five games he's been in goal for the Super Eagles at the tournament.
