Al-Ittihad SC signs top NPFL scorer Chijioke Mbaoma

Posted : 20 September 2024

Chijioke Mbaoma, who was the leading scorer in the Nigerian Premier Football League (NPFL) last season, has officially joined Libyan powerhouse Al-Ittihad SC. The talented striker has signed a two-year deal with the Tripoli-based club after an impressive season in Nigeria, where he showcased his goal-scoring prowess.


During his time with Enyimba, Mbaoma netted 17 goals, later moving to Heartland FC for a brief period earlier this summer. His outstanding performances earned him the NPFL Golden Boot, along with the coveted Player of the Season award, solidifying his reputation as one of Nigeria’s top talents.


In a recent announcement on Al-Ittihad’s official Instagram account, the club highlighted Nigeria's rich history of producing exceptional strikers. The post celebrated Mbaoma's arrival, stating, “Nigeria has always been known as a goldmine for strikers who have left an indelible mark on the world of football. From there, we brought in their league’s top scorer and best player as well — Chijioke Mbaoma has arrived in Tripoli.”


Al-Ittihad SC, the most decorated club in Libya with 19 league titles, is preparing for the 2024-25 season under the guidance of coach Osama Al-Hammadi. The club views Mbaoma as a vital addition to strengthen their squad as they aim to maintain their dominance in domestic competitions and make significant strides in continental tournaments.


Facing competition from clubs in Libya and Tunisia for his signature, Al-Ittihad made a competitive financial offer that successfully secured the Nigerian forward. Mbaoma’s transfer was finalized earlier this week, and fans are eager to see if he can replicate his NPFL success on North African soil.


With high expectations surrounding his move, Mbaoma is set to join his new teammates for pre-season training in Turkey, where Al-Ittihad is currently preparing for the upcoming season. The striker’s goal-scoring capabilities are anticipated to enhance the team’s offensive options.


As Mbaoma embarks on this new chapter of his career, the Libyan club is hopeful that he will deliver the same impressive performances that made him a standout in Nigeria, bringing excitement to the fans eager for his contributions on the field.
