Emmanuel Ifeanyi Ogude (born 29 March 1993) is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Veikkausliiga club VPS.
Ogude signed a contract with Danish third tier B.93 in December 2015, at the age of 21, after playing in Israel for a few years.[4] His debut for the first team was as a substitute against B1908 on 24 March 2016, a game which B.93 won 3–1.[5]
After being awarded the title of Player of the Year in the Danish third tier, Ogude attracted interest from Danish Superliga club Brøndby IF which resulted in a tryout.[6]
On 7 July 2017, Ogude signed for Danish second tier club Vendsyssel FF on a three-year deal.[7] He made his debut for Vendsyssel in a league match on 30 July 2017 against Fremad Amager, where he came on as a late substitute for Jeppe Illum. His first season at the club resulted in promotion to the Superliga. Ogude ended the season with 27 appearances in which he scored 10 goals.[8]
Ogude made his first appearance at the highest Danish level on 15 July 2018, as a 82nd-minute substitute for Sebastian Czajkowski as Vendsyssel won 3 - 2 home over OB.[9] He scored his first goal at the highest level from a penalty kick on 26 August in a 1 - 2 home loss to Brøndby IF. The penalty resulted in a controversial situation, where opposing supporters from Brøndby threw a football on the field with the intention of flinching Ogude at the moment of shooting.[10] Ogude himself explained that he did not notice the episode, but that a lighter was thrown at him from the opposing fans. The incident resulted in a fine of 25,000 DKK for Brøndby.[11] On 5 September, Ogude scored six goals as Vendsyssel crushed Danish sixth tier side Egen UI with a total score of 9 - 1.[12] He finished the season with 27 appearances in which he scored nine goals, as Vendsyssel suffered relegation after one year at the highest level.[13] The club confirmed on 12 August 2020, that Ogude had left the club.[14]
In September 2020, Ogude signed with Kuwait Premier League club Al Tadhamon.[15] In the summer of 2021, Ogude tore his anterior cruciate ligament. His contract was not extended, making him a free agent in July 2021.
In March 2022, Ogude returned to B.93.[16] On 1 February 2024 the club confirmed, that Oguda had left by mutual agreement.[17]
After a short stint with Al-Qasim in Iraq Stars League, on 19 August 2024, Ogude signed with Finnish Veikkausliiga club Vaasan Palloseura (VPS) for the rest of the 2024 season.[18]
