Igoh Ogbu Signs New Slavia Prague Deal, Reflects on First Career Trophy

Nigerian defender Igoh Ogbu has shared his excitement after signing a contract extension with Czech Republic giants, Slavia Prague — a move that keeps him at the club until 2027.

The 25-year-old centre-back, who played a pivotal role in Slavia's title-winning campaign, described the new deal as a "dream continuation" of his journey with the club.

“It’s amazing for me to stay at Slavia. To continue to be part of this family. It’s great, it means a lot to me,” Ogbu told the club’s official media.

🏆 A Season to Remember

Ogbu, who joined Slavia from Lillestrøm SK, has just capped off the most successful season of his career — lifting his first-ever league title.

“Yes, definitely. I will remember the season for the rest of my life,” Ogbu said.
“It is my first trophy with Slavia, the first league. I think I will really remember it for the rest of my life, it is the first time in my career that I have achieved something like this.”

The Nigerian’s consistent performances, calm defending, and leadership at the back have made him a fan favourite in Prague and a key part of the team’s future.

💭 Opinion: Igoh Ogbu’s Rise is a Testament to the Power of Patience and Persistence

In a football world obsessed with flashy headlines and big-money moves, Ogbu’s journey is refreshing. It’s the story of a young Nigerian defender who left the shores of Africa, honed his craft in Norway, and carved out a leadership role in one of Central Europe’s most competitive leagues.

His commitment to Slavia Prague, rather than chasing a quick move abroad, shows maturity and ambition rooted in growth, not just glamour.

🔥 With this extension, Ogbu not only cements his place in the club's future but also boosts his chances of a regular call-up to the Super Eagles, especially as Nigeria begins a new era of rebuilding.

What do you think about Ogbu’s decision to extend his stay in Prague? Is this the right step for his career or should he be eyeing a top-five league?
