Enyeama kept 10 clean sheets during his AFCON appearances, tying with Côte d’Ivoire’s Alain Gouaméné and Morocco’s Yassine Bounou.
Egypt’s Essam El Hadary leads the list with 14, while Ivory Coast’s Boubacar Copa is second with 11.

Enyeama featured in five tournaments — 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, and 2013, helping Nigeria secure four bronze medals and ultimately lifting the trophy in 2013.
Enyeama has 101 caps (appearances) for the Nigerian national team (Super Eagles), making him Nigeria’s most-capped goalkeeper and formerly the most-capped player overall before being surpassed by Ahmed Musa with 111 caps.
