Two former Right 2 Win FC academy products are catching attention in Europe after being involved with SK Slavia Prague’s youth setup as part of their UEFA Youth League campaign.
Right-back Chinedu Isaiah, who joined Slavia’s youth ranks on a five-year deal, has been included in the Slavia Praha U19 squad for elite youth fixtures, including the UEFA Youth League clash against Atalanta U19 in Italy.
Isaiah’s inclusion underscores his progress after moving from Nigeria to Czech Republic, where he has been praised for his pace, tactical intelligence and composure down the right flank. He also featured on the bench for Slavia U19 in competitive fixtures, reinforcing his upward trajectory in Europe’s youth competitions.
His compatriot Mubarak Suileman another former Right 2 Win Academy standout has also been a regular member of the Slavia Praha U19 squad, highlighting the growing influence of Nigerian talents within the club’s youth ranks.
Both players are expected to play significant roles for Slavia’s youth side as they continue their UEFA Youth League campaign and showcase their development on one of European football’s biggest youth stages. Analysts believe this duo represents a promising new generation of Nigerian footballers rising through strong academy systems into European competition.
Editorial
If football is a language, then youth academies are its most persistent dialect shaping the grammar of tomorrow’s game. In the story of Chinedu Isaiah and Mubarak Suileman, we find a stanza of that larger poem young Nigerian talents, nurtured within the domestic academy structures of Right 2 Win FC, now articulating their promise on European stages with Slavia Praha’s U19 side.
There is something unmistakably modern about their journey. It is not the straightforward dash to instant stardom, but a deliberate path one built on exposure, adaptability and incremental mastery. Isaiah’s tactical intelligence at right-back and Suileman’s presence alongside him in the youth squad reflect not only individual talent but also the increasing respect afforded Nigerian youth development in Europe.
The UEFA Youth League is not just another competition it is a crucible where future first-team players are tempered by intensity and pressure. To see these young men included travelling to Italy for clashes against top academies like Atalanta speaks volumes about their readiness to be tested. It also highlights the broader evolution of Nigerian football exports no longer sporadic sparks but systematic contributors to Europe’s developmental pipeline.
Yet the true measure of this moment will be what comes next consistency, resilience and the ability to convert potential into performance. If they manage that, Isaiah, Suileman and others like them may become more than stories of promise. They may become foundational figures in a new chapter of Nigerian football influence on the global game.
