Cameroonian goalkeeper Fabrice Ondoa has officially parted ways with French Ligue 2 team Nîmes Olympique.
At 28 years old, Ondoa, who has been rumored to be in talks with several clubs within France and across Africa, took to his Instagram to bid farewell, stating:
“I want to express my gratitude to Nîmes Olympique for their hospitality and the moments we’ve shared. I’m grateful for my time here and extend my best wishes to the club and its supporters, who have taught me new things. I wish them continued success in the future. May you be blessed!”
Ondoa, who joined the club in 2023, made a total of four appearances—three in the league and one in the Coupe de France.
Born in Yaoundé, Ondoa began his football journey at the Samuel Eto’o Academy before joining FC Barcelona’s youth academy in 2009. He progressed through the ranks and was seen as a worthy successor to Cameroon’s great goalkeepers like Joseph-Antoine Bell and Carlos Kameni.
His impressive performances caught attention during the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), where he played a crucial role in Cameroon’s victory, earning him the tournament’s best goalkeeper title. Unfortunately things went downhill after that tournament , not until 2024 where he got called up for the 2023 Africa cup of nations under Rigobert Song.
Away from International football, his club stints have seen him spend time with Barcelona B but didn’t make any senior appearances before signing with Gimnàstic de Tarragona in Spain’s second division, making his senior debut for their farm team, CF Pobla de Mafumet.
He was then loaned to Sevilla Atlético, where he made his professional debut in a win against Real Zaragoza before joining Deportivo Alavés in La Liga but did not feature in any official matches
The 2017 AFCON best goalkeeper had a loan spell with NK Istra 1961 in Croatia after which he played for Auda in the 2022-2023 season
With his stint with Nimes now over, one tends to wonder where his next destination will be.
