Gafar Liameed, the founder of 36 Lion FC has proudly announced the loan move of one of his club’s products, Muhamed Tijani, to English Championship side, Plymouth Argyle from Czech Republic’s Slavia Prague.
According to Gafar, who’s also the current Chairman of the Lagos State Football Association (LSFA), the move marks a significant milestone as Tijani becomes the first player from 36 Lion FC to sign with an English club.
Based in Lagos, Nigeria, 36 Lion FC has gained a reputation for nurturing raw talents and facilitating their transition to European football.
Muhamed Tijani’s move to Plymouth Argyle, currently led by legendary ex-England footballer Wayne Rooney, underscores this commitment.
At 6 foot 4 inches, Tijani has consistently demonstrated his ability on the field, most notably helping 36 Lion FC earn promotion to the Nigeria National League in 2018.
