PHOTOS: Nigeria’s 19-year-old goalkeeper at the World Cup

What were you doing at 19? Francis Uzoho, a 19-year-old  is at the World Cup! The young goalie has been a consistent figure for the Super Eagles since he made his debut in 2017 and he is aiming to emulate his ‘hero’, Vincent Enyeama.

Francis Uzoho is excited with the opportunity afforded him to step into the shoes of former Nigeria first-choice goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama.

The youngster who made 26 appearances for Deportivo La Coruna B and featured twice for Spanish side’s senior team in the recently concluded season is delighted with the chance to follow the footstep of the country’s most capped player.

He made his World Cup debut yesterday against Croatia and had several impressive saves!
