Club career

Bameyi is listed as playing for an Abuja-based club named Yum Yum FC, although it has been reported that no club by this name exists in Nigeria.[2]

International career

Youth

Bameyi represented Nigeria's under-20 team at the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, captaining the side as they finished third in the competition.[3] His performances at the tournament were not particularly impressive; having been suspended for the quarter-finals after accumulating two yellow cards in the group stage, his mistake in the semi-final allowed the Gambia to score the only goal of the game.[4][5]

Senior

Bameyi was first called up to the senior team of Nigeria in November 2022, for a friendly game against Costa Rica, going on to make his debut in the 2–0 loss.[6] He was again called up to the senior squad for two 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification games against Guinea-Bissau.[7]
