From Ghana’s U17 Captain to a Key Player in Portugal’s Second Tier

Eric Ayiah’s journey in European football continues as the former Ghana U17 captain secures a move to Portuguese second-tier side FC Felgueiras. The 24-year-old forward, who once carried the hopes of Ghanaian youth football, is eager to make his mark at the Dr. Machado Matos Stadium.

After a solid spell with Liga 3 club CD Trofense, where he tallied four goals and three assists in 18 appearances this season, Ayiah now steps up a level in search of greater challenges. His time at AS Monaco’s youth setup shaped his game, and his steady rise through Portugal’s leagues reflects his resilience and ambition.

Felgueiras, fighting to maintain their league status, welcomed the Ghanaian striker with open arms. In an official club statement, they declared:

“Now you are one of us. Welcome to your new home, Eric!”

With his blistering pace, sharp technical skills, and natural goal-scoring instincts, Ayiah has a golden opportunity to shine. A strong campaign in Portugal’s second tier could put him back on the radar of Ghana’s senior national team, the Black Stars.

This move marks another chapter in his career—one that could shape his future at both club and international levels.
