Amodou Abdullei (born 20 December 1987) is a former professional footballer of Nigerian-German nationality who operated as a forward during his career.

Early stages in Germany

At the age of 17, Abdullei transitioned from a Nigerian football academy to Norway before securing a position with the German club Eintracht Trier, where he competed in the Under 19 Bundesliga for the 2005–06 season. In July 2007, he transferred to SSV Ulm, followed by a brief stint at TSG Thannhausen in February 2008. He then returned to SSV Ulm in November of the same year. His departure from the club occurred in May 2009.

Tenure in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Northern Cyprus

During March 2010, Abdullei netted three goals across four matches for K.S.K. Beveren. However, he faced a temporary suspension and a fine of 100 euros due to unsportsmanlike behavior while at Waasland-Beveren, which resulted in him missing fixtures against Dender and Antwerp. Over the course of the 2009–10 Belgian Second Division season, he made eleven appearances and scored three times.

From 2010 until 2012, Abdullei was part of F91 Dudelange's squad.

In late September 2012, he signed with Borussia Neunkirchen, competing in Germany's fifth-tier Oberliga Rheinland-Pfalz/Saar. After spending a year unattached and training with English clubs Blackpool and Charlton Athletic, he joined SV Mehring in March 2014. He marked his debut by scoring twice.

Toward the end of 2014, Abdullei transferred to Luxembourg’s National Division side UN Käerjéng 97, opening his scoring account with a goal in their first match against Wiltz.

In September 2015, at age 27 and following interest from clubs including Küçük Kaymaklı Türk S.K. and Bostancı Bağcıl S.K., he committed to Cihangir for the 2015–16 campaign, playing a role in their significant 3-0 victory over Baf Ülkü Yurdu S.K..

During the winter period of the 2016–17 season, Abdullei returned to Luxembourg to join second-tier team CS Grevenmacher, where he stayed through the subsequent season.

Return to Germany

During the summer of 2018, Abdullei joined TuS Koblenz, a club that had recently dropped to the Oberliga. Two years later, in August 2020, he made a comeback to Eintracht Trier, rejoining the team after a 15-year interval to strengthen their attacking options.
