Tuco moves to Åland.
Tuco is IFK Mariehamn’s man. Juha Tamminen
Veikkausliiga’s IFK Mariehamn gets stronger By Ariel “Tuco” Ngueukam. The acquisition is fundamentally difficult, as Tuco has scored 71 goals in 223 matches in the Veikkausliiga.
The Cameroonian, who represented FC Lahte last season and previously SJK and KuPS, expects that IFK will rapidly improve its 2022 ranking, which was tenth.
– Placing in the top five should be the minimum goal for the season. IFK Mariehamn has been in the league for many seasons and the gap to the top five last season, for example, was not very big, says Tuco.
Club director of IFK Mariehamn Peter Mattsson says the 34-year-old forward fills a void in the team.
– We have been looking for a pure center forward and now we feel that we have found one in Tuco.
IFK Mariehamn will face 5.4. in the opening game of the season at home to Ilves.
