Prince Benjamin Obasi has completed a loan move from OFK Beograd to FK Smederevo 1924, joining the Prva liga Srbije side on a temporary deal running from 2026-02-12 to 2026-06-30. The Nigerian centre‑forward switches between two Serbian clubs in a confirmed loan transfer, with OFK Beograd retaining his registration and set to receive him back at the end of the agreement.
The move keeps the 20‑year‑old within Serbian football but shifts him from the Super liga Srbije, where OFK Beograd compete, to the second tier, Prva liga Srbije, with Smederevo 1924. The transfer is officially listed as a loan transfer, with no permanent fee disclosed, and comes at a time when Obasi’s market value stands at €150k, according to the latest assessment. At the conclusion of the loan on 2026-06-30, he is scheduled to return to OFK Beograd rather than become a free agent, as his rights remain with the Belgrade club.
Obasi’s move to Smederevo 1924 continues a rapid progression through Serbian football structures over the past two seasons. Having joined OFK Beograd U19 from an unknown previous club on a standard transfer on 2024-01-26, he stepped up to OFK Beograd’s senior side on 2024-07-01. From there, he spent part of the 2025–26 campaign on loan at Graficar Belgrad, again on a confirmed loan deal starting 2025-08-14 and ending on 2025-12-31, before returning to OFK. That sequence has now been followed by this fresh loan to Smederevo 1924.
The Nigerian forward’s market value has risen sharply during his time in Serbia. At OFK Beograd, his value was listed at €50k in late 2024, then doubled to €100k by mid‑2025. While on loan at Graficar Belgrad in the 2025–26 season, it climbed further to €150k by December 2025. That upward trajectory underscores how clubs in both the top flight and second tier of Serbian football now view him as a developing asset rather than a fringe prospect.
Born in Aba, Nigeria, and standing 1.85m tall, Obasi is registered as an attack‑minded centre‑forward who prefers his right foot. His career to date has been entirely based in Serbia, with appearances in the Super liga Srbije through OFK Beograd and in the Prva liga Srbije via Graficar Belgrad and, now, Smederevo 1924. His national team status is listed with FK Smederevo 1924 in the data, underlining that, at club level, he is fully integrated into the Serbian system even as he remains Nigerian by nationality.
The confirmed loan does not indicate any imminent free‑agency situation. Instead, it positions Obasi for another half‑season of competitive football in the Prva liga Srbije with a clear return path to OFK Beograd already fixed. If his value continues to rise as it has over the past two years, this spell at Smederevo 1924 could further strengthen his standing in Serbian football and open doors to future moves, whether back into the Super liga Srbije or potentially beyond.
