At just 18 years old, Rufai Mohammed is set to take the next big step in his football journey. The young Ghanaian center-back has officially joined IFK Värnamo on loan from Elfsborg, a move that signals both opportunity and ambition.

Mohammed arrived in Sweden from Ghanaian club Inter Allies FC, signing with Elfsborg before the previous season. However, he has yet to make an appearance in the Allsvenskan, Sweden’s top flight. With his contract running until the end of the 2027 season, Elfsborg clearly sees a future for him at the club. But for now, game time is the priority.

The move to Värnamo offers Mohammed the chance to gain valuable experience at the highest level of Swedish football. It’s a strategic decision—Elfsborg gets to track his development, while Värnamo strengthens its defense with a promising young talent.

The duration of the loan hasn’t been disclosed, but Mohammed will wear the number 4 shirt as he integrates into his new squad. This move marks a significant milestone in his career, giving him the platform to showcase his potential on a bigger stage.
