Oluwafemi Opeyemi, the promising midfielder discovered at the Jagaban Cup, has secured a season-long loan move to Nefchi Baku in the Azerbaijan Premier League.

The deal includes an option for the club to extend his contract until 2029 if he impresses the coaching staff.

The 19-year-old Nigerian joins from 36 Lion, continuing his rapid rise after catching attention at the Jagaban Cup.

Nefchi Baku, known for its strong focus on youth development, will closely monitor Opeyemi’s progress, with the possibility of making the move permanent if he excels.

His transfer further underlines the Jagaban Cup’s growing reputation as a platform for discovering and nurturing top football talent.
