Dario Naamo, hailing from Finland, was born on 14 May 2005. Now at the age of 20, he is renowned as a formidable defender on the football battleground, possessing a primary prowess as a right back for Dundee United. His physique, standing at 1.75m (or 5ft 8in for those preferring a more imperial measure) and weighing 74kg (or 11st 9lb), contributes significantly to his performance on the pitch. Emblazoned with the number '22' on his jersey, Naamo isn't solely contained within Scottish borders, with the Finland U21 national team also benefiting from his skills.
His worth is currently estimated at around £170k, as stated by Transfermarkt.
Naamo stepped into the professional football sphere in January 2022 with Honka in Finland’s Ykkönen league. His rookie season saw him making one first-team appearance, which rapidly escalated to 19 appearances in the following season.
Seeking new pastures in January 2024, Naamo transferred to SJK in the Veikkausliiga, Finland's premier league, where he partook in 21 first-team league matches.
Opportunities in Austria knocked in September 2024, when Naamo accepted a loan transfer to St. Polten in the 2. Liga. Despite being a new terrain, Naamo adapted soon enough, making 18 appearances and even scoring a goal.
His performances in Austria did not go unnoticed, and Naamo's services were locked down by St. Polten in a permanent transfer deal worth around £170k in January 2025.
In July 2025, Naamo answered the call of the Scottish Premiership, joining Dundee United on loan. As the current season (2025 - 2026) unfolds, he has already made 12 first-league appearances for the team.
Apparently, the Scottish air suited him well. In August 2025, the loan spell transformed into a permanent transfer to Dundee United, with the specifics of the fee being undisclosed. As of now, Naamo continues to fortify Dundee United's right-back position with his noteworthy contributions.
Naamo's performance isn't restricted to league matches alone. He made an appearance as a substitute in the League Cup 2025 - 2026 for Dundee United, and in the UEFA U21 Qualifiers 2025 for Finland U21.
