Greek Giants Land Super Eagles Defender in Ambitious Move

Bruno Onyemaechi has taken a significant step in his career, sealing a move to Greek powerhouse Olympiacos FC from Portuguese side Boavista. The 25-year-old left-back, who played a crucial role in Nigeria’s run to the 2023 AFCON final, is eager to embrace the challenge of competing on the European stage.

Having made 77 appearances for Boavista, scoring five goals and providing three assists, Onyemaechi’s impressive form this season—three goals and one assist in 18 matches—earned him a transfer to the reigning UEFA Conference League champions.

Speaking on his move, Onyemaechi expressed excitement about joining Olympiacos:

> “First of all, I’m really happy to be here. When I told my family, they all accepted it. Now I’m looking forward to seeing the supporters in the stadium. I wanted the opportunity to play in Europe, and that’s what drove me to be here.”

A dynamic full-back known for his pace and versatility, Onyemaechi aims to make an instant impact in Greece. With 11 caps for the Super Eagles, he is expected to bring defensive solidity and attacking support to Olympiacos as they push for domestic and European success.
