Former Dakkada FC star Emmanuel Ayaosi makes Slavia Prague UEFA Champions League squad

Former Dakkada FC star Emmanuel Ayaosi has been included in Slavia Prague’s squad for the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League campaign.

The Nigerian forward is now on the verge of playing in Europe’s biggest club competition, completing another important step in his rapid rise in football.

Ayaosi was signed by Dakkada FC at a very young age and played in the NPFL as a youngster. He quickly made an impression in the league before moving abroad to continue his career.

The 21-year-old has now earned his place in Slavia Prague’s Champions League squad after making a strong start to the new season.

Ayaosi has scored in back-to-back matches for Slavia, finding the net in wins over Sparta Prague and Brno.

His recent form has further raised expectations around the young Nigerian as Slavia prepare for their Champions League campaign.

The Czech champions could hand Ayaosi his first Champions League appearance when they face French side RC Lens in their opening match.

Slavia Prague signed Ayaosi from Czech league rivals Karvina after his impressive performances attracted interest from several clubs.

Viktoria Plzen and other clubs were reportedly interested in the winger, but Slavia moved quickly to secure his signature.

The move made Ayaosi the club’s first signing of the upcoming season as they strengthened their squad for another domestic title challenge and their European campaign.

From playing in the NPFL at a very young age with Dakkada FC to standing on the brink of the Champions League, Ayaosi’s journey is a proud story of development, determination and opportunity.

The next step could see the Nigerian talent make his name on one of football’s biggest stages.
