Azerbaijan Premier League side FK Sumgayit have officially confirmed the signing of Abdoul Rachid Moumini, the 20 year old right back from Ayema FC in Benin, on a three year contract. This marks his first professional move outside his home country. +
+
Moumini emerged at Ayema FC as a standout performer, earning national team call ups for Benin and attracting interest from European clubs. His decision to join Sumgayit was influenced by the club’s ambitious project under [president Riad](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/youth-football/) Rafiyev, who convinced him of the developmental vision offered at the Azerbaijani outfit. +
+
Sumgayit have added Moumini to a group of six new signings aimed at [revitalising](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/river-plates-young-striker-eyes-flying-eagles-call-up-after-swift-rise/) their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season. The defender made 16 appearances last season for Ayema, scoring once and contributing two assists evidence of his potential to influence from the back. +

For FK Sumgayit, investing in Moumini reflects ambition—soaring beyond regional comfort and embracing global football’s next breed. Recruiting a player with international caps at age 20 signals strategic recruitment, balancing immediate defensive needs with long-term potential. +
+
This move also resonates for African football: the path abroad need not always originate from elite leagues. It can start where talent is nurtured consciously, exported thoughtfully, and grown methodically. Moumini’s transfer could become a model for others. +
