Uzoho Returns as Okoye Misses Out in Super Eagles’ AFCON 2025 Squad Shake-Up

Goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has made a surprising comeback to the Super Eagles camp, earning a spot in Nigeria’s squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. In a notable change, Maduka Okoye — who has been serving as backup to first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali — was left out of the final list.

The selection has sparked discussions among fans, especially with the trio of Okoye, Nwabali, and Onuachu previously seen as part of Nigeria’s reliable core.
