Francis Uzoho joins Omonia 29M after departing Omonia Nicosia

On August 29, 2026, the Cypriot football club Omonia 29M officially announced the signing of 27-year-old Nigerian goalkeeper Francis Uzoho. This move follows his departure from Omonia Nicosia, where his position had become untenable due to the recent acquisition of goalkeeper Thomas Kaminski. The transfer allows Uzoho to continue his professional career in Cyprus while remaining associated with the 'Omonia' club identity.

Prior to the official announcement, Uzoho was observed attending an Omonia 29M match against Krasava ENY on the evening of August 28. Following the confirmation of his exit from Omonia Nicosia, the goalkeeper shared an emotional farewell message on social media. In his statement, he expressed his deep gratitude to the fans and the club, noting that while the decision to leave was not under his personal control, he remains committed to the team's legacy.

Uzoho, born on October 28, 1998, has spent significant time in Cypriot football and is widely recognized for his tenure with his previous club. The transfer concludes his association with the reigning champions, marking a new chapter for both the player and his new club, Omonia 29M.
