This marks a return to the African continent for Anatole Abang. The 29-year-old versatile striker will now play in the Libyan first division after representing Al Bataeh in the UAE Pro League since 2023. In an enigmatic message, the 18-time Libyan champions officially announced the arrival of the Cameroonian without revealing the terms of his contract.

‘From Cameroon, like the leader's jersey and the names of the elders carry weight on the continent, in the memories of legends Patrick Mboma and Alexis Enam, we bring you sniper Anatoly Abang,’ wrote Al Ittihad SC.

Anatole Abang arrives in Libya with a wealth of experience. A former AS Fortuna player, he played for the New York Red Bulls in the United States, Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova and many other clubs before joining Al Bataeh in the United Arab Emirates.
