Vincent Enyeama sparks speculation of Super Eagles reunion ahead of AFCON
Legendary Nigerian goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has ignited speculation of a potential reunion with the Super Eagles, hinting at his participation in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Enyeama’s comment, “Let’s go, See you in camp. Time for business,” on the team’s recent Instagram post has stirred excitement and comments among fans who will like to see the veteran shot-stopper offer his wealth of experience towards the development of the current crop of goalkeepers.
Enyeama, 41, boasts a remarkable career, having featured in over a century of games for the Nigerian National Team.
However, his unexpected departure in 2015, when he announced his retirement at the age of 33, left fans and the football community in shock.
The legendary goalkeeper cited feeling mistreated and disrespected as reasons for his decision to step away from international football.
In the years following his retirement, Enyeama had maintained a distance from the Super Eagles, admitting to not watching their games.

Meanwhile, SportsRation can exclusively confirm that Enyeama is in Nigeria developing his business interests and so chances he will be joining the Eagles for the AFCON is slim or zero.
