Obinna Akuchie Rejoins Kun Khalifat FC on Two-Year Deal

Kun Khalifat FC have officially announced the return of goalkeeper Obinna Akuchie, with the shot-stopper signing a two-year permanent contract ahead of the 2026/27 Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) season.

Akuchie rejoins the Owerri-based club from Abakaliki FC, marking a return to familiar surroundings after spending the 2025/26 campaign away. The move reunites the goalkeeper with the club where he previously established himself as one of the standout performers between the posts.

The experienced goalkeeper played a key role during his previous spell with Kun Khalifat, helping the club secure promotion to the Nigeria Premier Football League. His commanding presence, sharp reflexes and consistency made him an important figure in one of the most successful periods in the club’s history.

Kun Khalifat confirmed the transfer through their official channels, expressing delight at bringing the goalkeeper back as preparations continue for the new campaign. The club will hope Akuchie’s experience and familiarity with the team will strengthen their squad as they aim to compete successfully in the NPFL.

For Akuchie, the move represents an opportunity to continue his development while helping Kun Khalifat achieve their ambitions in Nigeria’s top flight.

Supporters will also welcome the return of a familiar face whose previous contributions left a lasting impression at the club.

With pre-season preparations underway, Akuchie is expected to link up with his teammates immediately as Kun Khalifat intensify preparations for the 2026/27 season.
