Former Dakkada FC forward Emmanuel Ayaosi has been included in Slavia Prague’s squad for the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League, putting the young Nigerian on the verge of playing in Europe’s top club competition.
From NPFL Roots To Europe’s Elite
Ayaosi began his career with Dakkada FC in the Nigeria Premier Football League, signing with the club at a young age and quickly making an impression before moving abroad to continue his development.
Hot Form Earns Champions League Spot
The 21 year old has now secured his place in Slavia Prague’s Champions League squad after a strong start to the new season, scoring in back to back matches for the club in wins over Sparta Prague and Brno. That form has raised expectations around the young forward as Slavia prepare for their European campaign, with the Czech champions potentially handing him his Champions League debut when they face French side RC Lens in their opening match.
A Swift Move To Slavia
Slavia Prague signed Ayaosi from domestic rivals Karvina after his form attracted interest from several clubs, including Viktoria Plzen, but Slavia moved quickly to secure his signature, making him the club’s first signing ahead of the new season as they build for both a domestic title push and their European campaign.
