Nigerian goalkeeper Otega Ekperuoh has officially departed IF Brommapojkarna, widely regarded as Europe’s largest football club, to join Swedish Ettan Norra side FC Arlanda. The 20 year old signed a two year deal that keeps him with Arlanda until the end of the 2026 season.
Ekperuoh left Brommapojkarna in search of more playing opportunities, having made just three senior appearances for the Allsvenskan club, recording one clean sheet. During his time there, he also had loan spells at Enskede IK and Täby FK to gain experience.
Standing over two meters tall, Ekperuoh is known for his leadership skills and dominance in aerial battles. His move coincides with FC Arlanda’s recent historic promotion to Ettan Norra, the third tier of Swedish football, offering him a platform to solidify his career.
Ekperuoh, a dual national, has previously received call ups for Sweden’s youth teams, showcasing his growing reputation as a reliable goalkeeper.
