Stanley Nwabali is now a chief in his hometown, Egbema Kingdom, Rivers State.
The chieftaincy title was confered on the Super Eagles goalkeper by the traditional ruler of Egbema Kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Nzeobi Evaritus Amida.
Amida conferred on Nwabali the title following his impressive performance for the Super Eagles at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
