CF Montréal announced on Wednesday, June 29, 2026, that midfielder Mahala Opoku has been transferred to Greek Super League side Panetolikos FC. The move marks the end of Opoku’s three‑year spell with the Canadian club.
During his three‑year tenure, Opoku featured in 42 MLS contests for CF Montréal, operating primarily in the central midfield area. He was regularly called upon to support both defensive duties and the transition to attack, providing the team with depth and versatility across the midfield line over the 2023, 2024 and 2025 seasons.
The move to Panetolikos offers Opoku his first professional experience in a European league. The Greek side confirmed that his registration has been processed and that he will report to the club ahead of its pre‑season schedule, where he will integrate with the existing squad and adapt to the tactical demands of the Super League.
CF Montréal has not released details regarding any financial terms of the transaction. With Opoku’s departure, the club will look to address the midfield roster as it prepares for the upcoming MLS campaign, exploring options through internal development or future acquisitions.
Panetolikos FC competes in Greece’s top division and will add Opoku to its roster for the 2026‑27 season. The club anticipates that his experience from North America will complement its midfield options as it seeks to improve its standing in the league.
Opoku’s move follows a growing trend of MLS athletes seeking opportunities abroad, as clubs in Europe look to incorporate North American players into their squads.
