Abbas Abdul Wadud: Ghanaian defender joins AS Marsa on long-term deal

Ghanaian centre-back Abbas Abdul Wadud has joined Tunisian side AS Marsa on a long-term contract running until 30 June 2029. The defender completed his move on 27 July 2026 and has been registered as a central defender for the Ligue 1 club.

Abdul Wadud arrives as a specialist centre-back, strengthening the spine of an AS Marsa team competing in Tunisia’s top division. The club have committed to a three-year deal, underlining their intention to build with the Ghanaian at the heart of their back line.

The move marks a new chapter in Abdul Wadud’s career as he links up with AS Marsa for the 2026-27 campaign. While details of his previous club have not been announced, he has been listed in his natural role in central defence and will be expected to add depth and competition in that position.

AS Marsa, who play in Tunisia’s Ligue 1, have been active in shaping their squad ahead of the new season, and Abdul Wadud’s capture adds an international dimension to their defensive options. His arrival continues the trend of North African clubs recruiting from West Africa, with Ghanaian players increasingly present across the region’s top leagues.

With his contract in place until the summer of 2029, Abdul Wadud becomes a long-term part of AS Marsa’s plans as the Tunisian club prepare for the challenges of the coming seasons.
