Femi Azeez: Football Profile, Nigeria Caps and Net Worth

Femi Azeez is a winger whose full name is Oluwafemi Javier Azeez Beloso, born in Westminster, London, on 5 June 2001. He joined Brighton & Hove Albion in September 2026 and made his senior debut for Nigeria earlier that year. For football followers across Africa, including South African readers searching for soccer, the immediate questions concern how his career developed and what is known about his finances.

His September 2026 move answers the club question, while his opening two Nigeria appearances establish a dated international starting point. The live records module supplies his subsequent caps total. His net worth needs a more careful answer because no confirmed public figure is available. His route also deserves attention: he progressed from academy football through senior matches outside the professional leagues towards the Premier League.

Who Is Femi Azeez?

Azeez is an England born Nigeria international with a Nigerian father and a Spanish mother, according to his encyclopaedia biography. The name Oluwafemi Azeez refers to the same player as Femi Azeez, while his full name includes Javier and Beloso. Those different versions can make a straightforward player search feel like finding somebody under several names in your phone contacts. His birth date and career history provide the useful checks.

His younger brother Miguel is also a professional footballer. Femi's own route gives Nigerian supporters a particular reason to follow him: he reached the Super Eagles after working through several levels of English football. His background connected him with Nigeria, England, Spain and France, but his senior international breakthrough came wearing Nigeria's colours in 2026.

How Did Azeez Reach Brighton?

Azeez joined Brighton & Hove Albion from Millwall on 2 September 2026, completing a journey that began in Watford's youth system. His biography records that he entered that academy aged nine and left at 14. Northwood then provided an early opening in senior football. On 6 February 2018, he appeared as a substitute against Chalfont St Peter in a match Northwood lost by two goals to nil.

Reading signed him to an academy contract on 18 September 2019. He combined development football with senior matches before earning his opening at a professional club.

Reading gave Azeez his first team debut on 6 March 2021 in a three goal victory over Sheffield Wednesday. He finished his Reading career with 89 appearances and 11 goals, after the club's relegation to League One in 2023. He joined Millwall permanently on 21 August 2024 for an undisclosed fee.

For Nigerian readers following African footballers across Europe, the September 2026 Brighton move is the important career change: a player developed through non league football reached a Premier League club. A transfer fee measures the agreement between clubs and does not establish his personal wealth.

When comparing those stages, distinguish an academy signing, a senior debut and a permanent transfer. Each marks a different step: joining a development programme, appearing for a first team or changing clubs. For supporters tracing a Nigeria international's route, that distinction helps explain the journey without treating every move as an immediate first team breakthrough. Read appearances alongside minutes and competition names when those details are available in the records.

What Does Femi Azeez Do on the Pitch?

Azeez plays as a winger. A position label alone leaves plenty unanswered, because a winger can receive near the touchline, move into central spaces or arrive in scoring positions. When watching him, follow where he receives possession and what happens after his first touch. That gives a clearer picture of his contribution than assuming every wide player performs the same task.

His February 2026 Championship Player of the Month award and selection for that season's PFA Championship Team of the Year belong to a completed stage of his Millwall career.

The defining performance for Nigerian supporters came against Zimbabwe in May 2026, when he scored both goals on his international debut. The immediate value was easy to understand: Nigeria had another attacking option capable of finishing chances. That match offers a useful starting point for understanding his appeal, while a broader assessment needs repeated performances against different opposition.

Watch his relationship with the nearest full back and central forward. Does he hold his width to leave room inside, offer a short passing option or run beyond the defence? After a turnover, follow whether he closes the ball or tracks a runner. These are useful questions for assessing his role with Nigeria as well as his club. They also give viewers something meaningful to follow during spells when he is not receiving possession.

For a fuller assessment, separate the quality of a decision from its eventual outcome. A pass towards a well placed teammate can be worth noticing even when the move produces no goal. Equally, a scoring clip shows the finish but may leave out the movement that created the chance. Watching the passage before the final touch helps Nigerian supporters understand how he fits into a shared attack.

What Is Azeez's Nigeria Record?

Azeez made his Nigeria debut on 26 May 2026 against Zimbabwe at The Valley in London, scoring twice in a two goal victory. The match came in the Unity Cup and immediately gave supporters a memorable introduction. For the Nigerian diaspora, a senior international played in London also brought the national team closer to home. His debut remains the natural reference point whenever discussion turns to how his Super Eagles career began.

His Wikipedia biography records two appearances and two goals across his opening international matches in May 2026. It answers what he achieved at the start without presenting an old count as a permanent total. Read the live caps module for subsequent appearances, checking its update date alongside the number.

His international choice matters because supporters follow the decisions of players with several national connections. Azeez's family background and eligibility linked him with Nigeria, England, Spain and France, while his senior debut placed him among the diaspora Eagles representing Nigeria. The practical question is how he contributes to the Green and Whites over time. Tournament appearances, later goals and selection changes belong in the updated records rather than an undated claim about his standing.

When reading the international record, check whether a figure covers all senior appearances or only a named competition. Keep starts, substitute appearances and unused squad selections separate when comparing opportunities. For supporters assessing his Nigeria contribution, minutes and playing role add context to caps and goals. A brief substitute appearance and a full match can both enter an appearance total, while offering different amounts of evidence about his work within the team.

Femi Azeez net worth

Salary Sport's 2026 estimate puts Femi Azeez's net worth at GBP 1,505,400. For a rough illustration, that is about 3.01 billion Nigerian naira, 256 million Kenyan shillings, 7.23 billion Ugandan shillings, 34.6 million South African rand or 24.1 million Ghanaian cedis. These illustrations use assumed rounded rates of NGN 2,000, KES 170, UGX 4,800, ZAR 23 and GHS 16 per pound, rather than dated exchange quotations. The wealth and salary figures are published estimates, not accounts. The Salary Sport profile still lists Millwall, so its wealth estimate may predate his September 2026 move to Brighton.

The salary estimate attributed to Salary Sport in September 2026 was about GBP 8,300 a week or GBP 431,600 a year at Brighton. Using the same illustrative rates, the weekly amount is about NGN 16.6 million, KES 1.41 million, UGX 39.8 million, ZAR 191,000 or GHS 133,000; the annual amount is about NGN 863 million, KES 73.4 million, UGX 2.07 billion, ZAR 9.93 million or GHS 6.91 million. Brighton had not disclosed his wages in that reporting, and the profile's Millwall listing limits confidence in assigning its figures to his Brighton contract.

No separate image rights income, player market valuation or endorsement payments are documented in the available 2026 financial information, so there are no supported amounts to convert for those categories. The absence of published endorsement figures does not establish that he has no commercial agreements.

A transfer fee belongs to a different calculation because transfer payments go between clubs. A salary estimate describes earnings over a period, while net worth concerns assets after liabilities. Multiplying an estimated weekly wage across a contract cannot establish what Azeez owns or retains. For readers comparing football finances, first identify whether a number describes a fee, earnings or wealth, then check whether its source calls it confirmed or estimated.

How Can You Watch Azeez From Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda?

Use the fixture and viewing modules to identify Azeez's club or Nigeria match, then check the listing for your country. Coverage can differ between competitions and territories, so a Premier League listing does not establish where an international fixture will appear. Readers in Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana and Uganda should select their own market before making viewing plans. A dated broadcaster entry is more useful than assuming one service carries every appearance.

Read kick off times in WAT for Nigeria, EAT for Kenya and Uganda, SAST for South Africa, and GMT for Ghana. Check the date alongside the time, particularly when a European fixture falls late in the evening. The modules should display those zones together so readers can compare them directly. Before settling in to watch, open the match listing and confirm the local start time and the country specific viewing information.
