Oyedele’s accomplishments with the Flying Eagles include being part of the team that clinched victory at the WAFU B Championship in Niamey, Niger Republic last year. Despite his promising abilities, he was left out of the squad for the 2023 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations and did not make the World Cup roster, as decided by head coach Ladan Bosso.
The young defender is following in the footsteps of other talented players who have made the transition from Remo Stars Academy to foreign clubs. With his potential recognized by Clube Desportivo Feirense in the Portuguese Liga 2, Oyedele has been promoted to their first team.
Having started with the club’s U-19 team, Oyedele showcased his skills as a left-back and center-back, impressing with notable performances and contributing with several goals. His versatility and rock-solid defensive abilities make him a valuable addition to the CD Feirense team.
Oyedele now joins the ranks of Nigerian players who have earned their place in Clube Desportivo Feirense’s senior squad. The club has a history of nurturing talented Nigerian players, and Oyedele is set to continue this legacy alongside other notable Nigerian footballers such as Bruno Onyemaechi, Ogenekaro Etebo, and Oche Ochewechi. As he embarks on this new chapter of his career, the young and highly-rated defender holds great promise to make a significant impact at his new club in Portugal.
