+<br>Two names have emerged as likely options:

+	Mustapha Lawal (Shooting Stars’ standout shot-stopper)
+
+The [Super Eagles](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/champions-league-spot-a-big-motivation-for-forest-awoniyi/) will begin their qualification campaign away to Rwanda on March 21, before hosting Zimbabwe in Uyo on March 25.

+<br>Editorial
+<br>
+<br>The [inclusion](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/match-previews-and-reviews/) of an NPFL goalkeeper in the Super Eagles squad is a positive step for Nigerian football. It rewards home based players and highlights the growing quality of goalkeepers in the domestic league.
+<br>
+<br>With Stanley Nwabali’s AFCON success proving that NPFL players can shine on the international stage, this move could  more clubs to invest in developing local talent.
+<br>
+<br>However, the [decision](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-culture/ahmed-musas-2024-earnings-unveiled-astonishing-net-worth-revealed/) to keep the goalkeeper’s identity a secret raises speculation. The Super Eagles [coaching staff](https://wavedream.wiki/index.php/User:FaustoUzn013837) must ensure the best in-form option is chosen, as goalkeeping errors have cost Nigeria vital points in previous qualifiers.
