Football & Club career

edit

Azeez began his professional career with Abubakar Bukola Saraki's ABS FC (formerly Bukola Babes) where he spent two seasons from 2009 to 2011. His performance at the club secured him a contract with Dolphins F.C. (Port Harcourt) for the 2012 season, when he joined Shooting Stars S.C. (3SC) in Ibadan. Azeez also played for 3SC between 2012 and 2013 before leaving for the northern club Kano Pillars F.C. which won the Nigeria Professional Football League in his first season.

After three successful seasons with Pillars, he attracted interest from international clubs, and in 2016 moved to Al-Hilal Club (Omdurman) in Sudan.[1]

Azeez was called up for the "Super Eagles", the Nigeria national football team, in 2016 for that year's African Nations Championship.
