Forgotten Super Eagles winger Anayo Iwuala has added another major trophy to his growing collection after helping Al-Arabi SC win the Kuwaiti Crown Prince Cup title.
Iwuala, who was once regarded as one of the brightest home-based talents in Nigerian football during the era of former Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr, played a key role as Al-Arabi defeated Kuwait SC 3-0 in the final at the Jaber Al-Ahmad International Stadium.

The former Enyimba FC winger was named in the starting lineup and delivered another lively display as Al-Arabi secured their 10th Crown Prince Cup crown in emphatic fashion.
Iwuala rose to prominence during his time in the Nigeria Premier Football League, where his impressive performances for Enyimba earned him invitations to the Super Eagles before his move abroad.
Although he has drifted away from the national team spotlight in recent years, the 27-year-old has continued to build a successful career across North Africa and the Middle East.
Before his latest triumph in Kuwait, Iwuala had already celebrated league title success with Espérance de Tunis in Tunisia and CR Belouizdad in Algeria, further highlighting his winning pedigree.
His latest achievement with Al-Arabi reinforces his reputation as one of the few Nigerian players to have enjoyed title-winning success across multiple leagues and countries.
Iwuala’s journey from the NPFL to becoming a serial trophy winner abroad remains an inspiring story for many home-based Nigerian footballers dreaming of making their mark on the international stage.
The 2025/2026 season has also been memorable for several Nigerian players abroad, with a growing number already lifting league titles for their respective clubs, and more success stories still expected before the campaign concludes.
