Sunday makes Sydney switch; Dabo joins Al Khor
Kuala Lumpur: Sydney FC have strengthened their attacking ranks with the signing of Nigerian forward Oriola Sunday on loan from RB Omiya Ardija, while Qatar’s Al Khor secured Senegalese midfielder Mohamed Dabo from Al Shamal.
Dewa United added Brazilian midfielder Jean Mangabeira, with Isenmulang Kalteng FC strengthening their defensive options with Firman Ramadhan.

Sunday heads Down Under
Sydney secured Sunday on a season-long loan from Japanese side RB Omiya Ardija as they continue to shape their squad for the 2026/27 campaign.

The 23-year-old enjoyed a productive spell in Japan, registering 20 goals and 10 assists for Omiya and helping the club secure the 2024 J3 League title.
“I’m very happy to join Sydney FC and I can’t wait to get started,” said Sunday. “Playing in Japan has taught me so much. The football there is very technical, the players are disciplined and the level is very high. 

“I feel I have improved every season and I’m excited to bring that experience with me to Australia.”
Dabo makes Al Khor move
Al Khor bolstered their midfield with the signing of Dabo on loan from fellow Qatari side Al Shamal.

The Senegalese midfielder makes the switch for the 2026/27 season as Al Khor continue strengthening their squad ahead of the new domestic campaign.
Mangabeira strengthens Dewa
Dewa United continued their recruitment drive with the signing of Brazilian defensive midfielder Mangabeira from Figueirense.

The 29-year-old arrives with experience in Brazil, the Czech Republic and Paraguay, having made 26 appearances for Figueirense last season.

“The opportunity to have my third international football experience and join a well-organised team with ambitions to become champions were the main reasons I chose Dewa United.

“The club’s target is aligned with my ambition, which is to have an extraordinary season and fight for the title,” said Mangabeira.

He joins a Dewa squad which has already been reinforced by Denilson Junior, Carlos Iury and Ripal Wahyudi.
Firman takes on new challenge
Isenmulang Kalteng FC strengthened their defence with the signing of Indonesian left-back Firman Ramadhan from Persijap Jepara.

“I’m very happy and proud to join Isenmulang Kalteng FC. This is a new challenge in my career," said Firman who made 15 appearances for Persijap last season.

“I’m ready to work hard, give 100 percent in every match and help the team achieve its targets this season,” said Firman.
