Jesse Adah: Dutch-Nigerian winger joins Atmosfera on loan from Panevezys

Dutch-Nigerian winger Jesse Adah has joined Lithuanian side Atmosfera on loan from Toplyga club Panevezys. The 21-year-old right-sided attacker moves to the I Lyga outfit in a deal confirmed on 15 July 2026.

Adah, who was born in Benin and holds both Netherlands and Nigeria nationality, is under contract at Atmosfera until 31 December 2026. The move keeps him in Lithuanian football but drops him a division, offering the left-footed winger the chance for greater involvement at senior level.

Capable of operating on the right of the attack and standing at 1.79m, Adah arrives with experience of the Lithuanian top flight despite limited game time. He featured seven times for Panevezys in the Toplyga this season, as well as once in the Lithuanian Cup, totalling just under three full matches’ worth of minutes across those competitions.

This campaign, Adah has appeared in seven of Panevezys’ 22 possible league fixtures and one of their three cup ties, all without scoring or assisting, and has yet to start a Toplyga match. The switch to Atmosfera represents a change of environment within the country and an opportunity for him to establish himself in a more regular attacking role.

Adah’s temporary move from Panevezys to Atmosfera is a straight loan transfer within Lithuania’s league pyramid, tying him to the I Lyga club through the end of 2026.
