Daniel Kolocho Bameyi (born 4 January 2006) is a Nigerian international footballer who plays as a defender.
Club career
Bameyi is listed as playing for an Abuja-based club named Yum Yum FC, although it has been reported that no club by this name exists in Nigeria. Head coach of the Nigeria under-20 side, Ladan Bosso, stated in late May 2023 that Yum Yum FC were indeed a real club, actually named the Yum Yum Academy, and that Bameyi was on their books.
International career
Youth
Bameyi represented Nigeria's under-20 team at the 2023 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations, captaining the side as they finished third in the competition. He was suspended for the quarter-finals after accumulating two yellow cards in the group stage, and a mistake committed by himself in the semi-final allowed Gambia to score the only goal of the match in Nigeria's 0–1 loss.
Senior
Bameyi was first called up to the senior team of Nigeria in November 2022, for a friendly game against Costa Rica, going on to make his debut in the 2–0 loss. He was again called up to the senior squad for two 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualification games against Guinea-Bissau.
