Chidozie Collins Awaziem MON // (born 1 January 1997) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a central defender for Major League Soccer club FC Cincinnati.
Club career
Porto
Born in Enugu, Awaziem joined FC Porto from Portugal in 2014, where he spent his last year as a junior and won the corresponding league title.[3] His senior debut was made with the B team in the Segunda Liga.[4]
On 27 January 2016, aged 19, Awaziem appeared in his first competitive game with the main squad, featuring the full 90 minutes in a 2–0 away loss against C.D. Feirense in the Taça da Liga.[5][6] His maiden appearance in the Primeira Liga took place on 12 February, as he again started in a 2–1 win at S.L. Benfica due to an injury crisis to the defensive sector.[7][8]
Awaziem was loaned to French club FC Nantes for the 2017–18 season.[9] His first match in Ligue 1 took place on 6 August 2017, when he came on as a 74th-minute substitute in a 3–0 defeat away to Lille OSC.[10]
In January 2019, Awaziem joined Çaykur Rizespor on loan until the end of the campaign.[11] On 15 August, in the same situation, he moved to CD Leganés.[12]
Boavista
Still owned by Porto, Awaziem signed a temporary deal with Boavista F.C. – also in Portugal and the city of Porto – ahead of 2020–21, with the obligation of a permanent four-year contract on 30 June 2021.[13] He returned to the Turkish Süper Lig on 8 September that year, being loaned to Alanyaspor.[14]
On 1 August 2022, Awaziem was loaned to HNK Hajduk Split with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.[15] During his tenure, he scored a career-best five goals and also won the Croatian Football Cup.[16]
FC Cincinnati
Awaziem joined Major League Soccer side FC Cincinnati on 25 July 2024, on a two-year contract with the possibility of an extension through 2027.[17]
International career
Aged 19, Awaziem was called up by Nigeria for friendlies against Mali and Luxembourg, on 27 and 31 May 2016.[18] He made his senior debut on 1 June 2017, starting in a 3–0 win over Togo in Paris in another exhibition game.[19]
Awaziem was included in Gernot Rohr's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia,[20] being an unused player as the tournament ended in group stage exit. He was also picked for the 2019[21] and 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.[22]
