FC Ebedei is a Nigerian football club based in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State after moving from Lagos in 2001. They currently play in Nigeria Nationwide League, the third tier of Nigerian football.

FC Ebedei is also serving as the African football academy of FC Midtjylland in the Danish Superliga championship. Several players from the club have gone on to play in Denmark.

In the summer of 2022 star striker Olise Ogwu was linked with a transfer to English 2nd division side Millwall.

FC Midtjylland transfers[edit]

The most talented player to have transferred to FC Midtjylland from Edebei is Paul Onuachu, a very tall and strong forward. The new Peter Crouch as Sky Sports called him after FC Midtjyllands victory in Europa League over Manchester United in February 2016. FC Midtjylland is expecting a very big future transfer on Paul Onauchu.

The first player who transferred to FC Midtjylland was Ajilore Oluwafemi. The midfielder debuted for FC Midtjylland in 2004, and earned a permanent place in the starting line-up in the 2006–07 Superliga season. He plays the role of a defensive midfielder.

He was followed by strikers Adeshina Lawal and Justice John Erhenede, though they did not break into the FC Midtjylland starting line-up. In 2004, they both transferred to Vejle BK in the secondary Danish 1st Division.

In the spring 2006, forward Akeem Agbetu earned a place in the FC Midtjylland first team squad, after Danish forward Frank Kristensen suffered an injury. Agbetu scored a couple of goals before he was loaned out to Kolding FC in the winter 2007 transfer window to earn some valuable experience.

In the summer 2006, the two players who were brought with him to the club, the 18-year-old players Adigun Salami and Ayinde Lawal, were brought into the FC Midtjylland squad. Salami proved a very big talent, and attracted attention from Italian club Reggina Calcio, as well as English clubs Chelsea and Manchester United. He plays the role of a defensive midfielder.

The next player to make the step from FC Ebedei to FC Midtjylland is Babajide Collins Babatunde, or simply known a Baba Collins, who would have made his FC Midtjylland debut at age 16 if not for FIFA rules. As he turned 18, he signed a four and a half-year professional contract with FC Midtjylland. In Spring 2007 he earned his debut, and quickly became a starter. He scored 2 goals in 8 matches.

-Currently FCM has many young bright talents on the youth [[academy]], many of the [[African]] talents are some of the best players on their team, and they were a good factor in FC Midtjyllands silver and gold medals in the last season.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}} The eldest talents also play on the second team, which is currently playing in the [[Danish 2nd Division]], and finished last season number two. One of the best talents, [[Akeem Agbetu]], is currently on loan at [[Danish 1st Division]] side [[Kolding FC]], to get some experience. This is a tactic that the club will use for talents who are "too good for the third best league, but not yet good enough for the best".
-The next players who are ready to jump from the u-squad and up in the [[first team]] would be: [[Yakubu Abubakar Akilu]], a [[defensive midfielder]] and sometimes also plays in the [[Defender (football)|defense]]; [[Jude Ikechukwu Nworuh]], a very fast young striker, who has scored so many goals, that he must be secure for a spot in the first team squad; and [[Adeola Runsewe]], also a young fast striker, he does not score as many goals as Jude, but then he also plays a lot on the [[wing]]. The two last players who were promoted were the attacking midfielder Sylvester Emeka Igboun and the attacker [[Izunna Uzochukwu]].
