We are thrilled to announce that Mayowa, one of our standout centre-backs at the academy, has officially signed with C.F. Estrela da Amadora. This marks a significant milestone in the Nigerian defenders’ football career, and we couldn’t be prouder of his achievements.
Mayowa’s journey with us began in January 2023 when he enrolled in our Football with Education course. Right from the start, his potential was evident. The Nigerian defenders’ impressive physical attributes, defensive skills, mobility, and precise passing set him apart. These qualities didn’t go unnoticed, and it wasn’t long before Mayowa was making waves at FCV.
Mayowa’s dedication and hard work saw him quickly progress to the top team at FCV. His performances on the pitch attracted attention from scouts representing multiple professional English clubs. In his first full season, Mayowa’s development was nothing short of remarkable. His contributions on the field earned him both the Coaches Player of the Year and the Players Player of the Year awards, a testament to his skill and influence within the team.
Following his stellar season at FCV, Mayowa took his talents to Portugal, where he had trials with two Primeira Liga sides. His impressive displays during these trials led him to choose C.F. Estrela da Amadora, a club that finished 14th in the 2023/24 Primeira Liga season. This move marks a significant step in Mayowa’s career, providing him with the opportunity to compete at a higher level and make the steps into professional football.
“When he first came to FCV, you could see his physical attributes, the way he defends, his mobility, his passing. He has everything you need to be a modern defender. Hopefully, he succeeds at Estrela and maybe one day we could be watching him play in the English Premier League. Everyone at FCV wishes Mayowa the best of luck, the hard work starts now!”
As Mayowa embarks on this new chapter with C.F. Estrela da Amadora, we are confident that he will continue to excel and make us proud. His journey from the academy to a professional club is an inspiration to all our players, highlighting the importance of hard work, dedication, and seizing opportunities.
We wish Mayowa all the best as he takes on this exciting new challenge in his career. The entire team at FCV will be cheering him on every step of the way. Go show them what you’re made of, Mayowa!
