Experienced midfielder Fatai Abdullahi Oluwadayo has rejoined Umuahia-based side Abia Warriors FC ahead of the 2025/2026 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season and their CAF Confederation Cup campaign.
The deal has been finalized and confirmed, with further details expected to be revealed in due course.
Fatai, a strong and intelligent defensive midfielder, returns to familiar ground, having last featured for Abia Warriors during the 2019/2020 season before moving to Enyimba International FC. Since then, he has had two separate spells with the People's Elephant, enjoyed a stint at Rivers United, and showcased his talent internationally with Etoile de l’Est in the Rwandan Premier League.
With over 145 NPFL appearances, 12+ goals, and 5 assists to his name, Fatai brings a wealth of top-flight experience and tactical discipline. He is widely regarded as one of the most consistent and underrated midfielders in the NPFL, admired for his composure, defensive awareness, and leadership both on and off the ball.
This homecoming marks a significant boost to Abia Warriors’ squad depth and continental aspirations, as the team prepares for a demanding domestic season and their first-ever appearance in the CAF Confederation Cup.
