Biography
Born on 29 November 2004, Bewene’s early football story is linked to Jos and the dusty local pitches of Plateau State before he moved to the Czech Republic as a teenager. He joined Baník Ostrava’s youth system and worked his way through the U19s and the B team, with short loan spells at lower-league sides including MFK Havířov and Hanácká Slávia Kroměříž that helped him gain senior minutes.
He broke into Baník Ostrava’s first team properly during the 2025/26 Chance Liga season, becoming a regular and showing the stamina, tackling and ability to contribute in both phases of play that later earned him international recognition.
In August 2026 he signed a long-term contract extension that keeps him at the club until June 2031.
International career
Bewene received a late call-up to the Super Eagles in June 2026 after withdrawals from the squad. Eric Chelle handed him a starting place against Poland in Warsaw, where he played the full 90 minutes in a 2-2 draw and delivered a composed performance.
He also featured against Portugal in the same window.
