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 naturalised three years later.

Club career

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

International career

Internationally, Akagündüz has only represented the Austria national football team, having decided to play for 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.
