Stephen Obayan Sunday (born 17 September 1988 in Lagos) is a Nigerian-born Spanish footballer nicknamed Sunny.

Career

Club

Sunny began his career in his native Lagos with FC Ebedei and Jegede Babes. In 2003, Sunday participated in two youth championships in Sweden and Spain; in Madrid he participated in the third edition of the Annual Immigrants Mundial, where he impressed so much that he was given a five-year-contract with Poli Ejido [ BBC.co.uk, [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/6470975.stm Stephen's Latin love] ", retrieved 21st March 2007 ] . In order for that to happen though, one of the directors of Ejido had to become his adopted father to allow him to obtain the necessary paperwork to stay in Spain [ SkySports.com, [http://home.skysports.com/column.aspx?lid=Sky_Sports_Columnist_balague&channel=football_home Fantastic Finale- Balague] ", retrieved 30th June 2007 ] dead link|url=http://home.skysports.com/column.aspx?lid=Sky_Sports_Columnist_balague&channel=football_home|date=June 2008.

His performances for Ejido attracted interest from Manchester United, Real Madrid, Real Betis, Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia CF, Celta Vigo, Liverpool F.C. [ BBC.co.uk, [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/africa/6470975.stm Stephen's Latin love] ", retrieved 21st March 2007 ] and S.S.C. Napoli. However, he chose to sign for Valencia. After one year with the club he was loaned to CA Osasuna.

International

Although born in Nigeria, Sunday is eligible to play for Spain under FIFA rules, which allow players with dual nationality to change their international allegiance before the age of 21 if they have not won a full international cap. He has been called up by the Spain Under-19 side and represented Spain at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada [ [http://www.fifa.com/u20worldcup/news/newsid=534110.html#spain+announce+squad+canada Spanish squad for the 2007 U-20 WC] ] .
