Legit.ng reports that Nwabali was one of the stars of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023.

The 27-year-old former Enyimba and Katsina United man only missed out on the AFCON 2023’s Goalkeeper of the Tournament award based on the number of goals conceded. South Africa's Ronwen Williams won the award after letting in just two goals during the tournament in Ivory Coast.

Nwabali on the other hand, conceded four goals, two of which came in the final against hosts Ivory Coast, while keeping four clean sheets in the seven matches he played in the AFCON 2023. His confidence and organisation at the back have been lauded by most observers.
