Midfielder moves to Israel

Peter Agba is saying goodbye to NK Olimpija Ljubljana and is moving to 15-time Israeli champions, Maccabi Haifa, in exchange for a high transfer fee.

The Nigerian midfielder joined Olimpija at the beginning of the 2023/24 season, when he moved to Ljubljana from Croatian club Dubrava. In his first season, he made 27 appearances in the league and cup, contributing one assist. The following year was even more successful for him, as he lifted the Prva Liga Telemach champions trophy with his teammates and helped the Dragons achieve a historic result in Europe. In total, he made 94 appearances for the capital club and scored three goals, including a European one in an away match in Helsinki, where the Green and Whites won 0-2.

“A big thank you to the club for their trust, and thanks to the fans for their support! My time at Olimpija will always remain a very fond memory. I felt great here, developed as a player, and took a step forward in my career. I wish you all the best of luck in the future, and I’m sure we’ll meet again,” Agba said as he bid farewell.

The club thanks Pero for his fighting spirit and contribution to Olimpija’s historic successes.

Good luck, Pero!
