Muhammet Hanifi Akagündüz (born January 11, 1978 in Bingöl), nicknamed Aka, is a Turkish-born Austrian footballer.

Akagündüz moved with his family to Austria in 1987 and he gained Austrian citizenship three years later.

Club career

His career has seen the much-travelled Aka play for FK Austria Wien, Gerasdorf, St. Pölten, VfB Admira Wacker Mödling, SV Ried, Malatyaspor, Konyaspor, Rapid Wien, Kayserispor and Hellas Verona.

International career

Akagündüz has also played for the Austrian national team, having decided to represent his naturalised country rather than that of his birth. He made his debut for Austria in October 2002 against Belarus and has earned 10 caps, scoring one goal. His final international game was a February 2007 friendly match against Malta in which he came on as a late substitute for Roland Linz.
