Edidiong joins Lebanese club Shabab Al Sahel FC after Enyimba stint
Ezekiel Edidiong has signed for Lebanese Premier League club Shabab Al Sahel FC, leaving nine-time NPFL champions Enyimba, according to DAILY POST reporting on September 20, 2026. The forward featured for Enyimba last season, contributing 15 goals in 113 NPFL appearances and playing a key role in helping the People’s Elephant avoid relegation. Before Enyimba, he had spells with Akwa United and Dakkada FC.
His transfer highlights the continued flow of Nigerian talent to foreign leagues, especially as clubs in Lebanon and elsewhere scout NPFL performers. For Enyimba, losing a proven goal-scorer could affect their attacking depth ahead of the new season, while Edidiong gains exposure to a different footballing environment and potential earnings in hard currency.
NPFL clubs may need to intensify scouting and youth development to replace such outgoing talent, and fans should watch how he adapts to the Lebanese league. Will Edidiong’s move encourage more NPFL stars to seek overseas contracts, or will it leave Enyimba searching for a replacement to maintain their title challenge?
