Nigeria’s goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has praised Mamelodi Sundowns’ Rowen Williams as the best shot-stopper in the world, according to Daily Post.
Williams, who is 32 years old, had an impressive season, keeping 30 clean sheets in 46 matches for Sundowns. His exceptional performances didn’t go unnoticed, as he also played a crucial role in helping Bafana Bafana secure third place at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire, where he recorded five clean sheets in seven games.
Nwabali’s admiration for Williams highlights the goalkeeper’s skill and consistency, especially with his current nomination for the prestigious Ballon d’Or award.
Williams has become a standout figure in South African football, and his accolades reflect his dedication and talent on the pitch.
