The club announced Nwabali’s exit in a statement shared on their official social media pages on Thursday morning, revealing that the Nigerian international had formally requested to leave the club.
Chippa United said the request was carefully considered before being approved, while also paying tribute to the goalkeeper’s professionalism and commitment during his time at the club.

“We would like to sincerely thank Stanley Nwabali for the years of service, commitment, and professionalism he has shown during his time at Chippa United Football Club,” the statement continued. “His contribution to the club will always be appreciated. The club wishes Stanley every success in the next chapter of his career and in all his future endeavours.”
Nwabali joined Chippa United in 2022 after stints with several Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) sides, including Katsina United, Enyimba, Go Round FC, Wikki Tourists and Lobi Stars, marking his first move outside Nigeria.
The 29-year-old went on to make 76 appearances across all competitions for the South African club, keeping 25 clean sheets. While his next destination is yet to be confirmed, his availability is expected to attract interest from clubs who will be aiming to take advantage of the opportunity to sign one of the best goalkeepers in Africa.
