Madeleine Michèle Ngono Mani Epse Ongueme (born 16 October 1983), known as Madeleine Ngono Mani,[1] is a Cameroonian football striker currently playing for Albi Croix in the French second tier. She is a member of the Cameroonian national team, with which she has played the 2012 Summer Olympics, the African Women's Championship, and the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Career

Club

Her career started with Lorema FC and Canon Yaoundé, winning the domestic cup and league twice each in Cameroon .[3] After the domestic success, she joined RC Saint-Étienne in 2003, then in the fourth tier of French football. The team merged with AS Saint-Étienne in 2009, after their exploits leading them to the top level of French football, in no small part due to Ngono Mani's goal-scoring abilities. She then joined ASJ Soyaux and became one of their leading goal scorers in the second division. She turned professional by joining Guingamp in 2011[3] following a brief spell with FCF Monteux.[4] She moved to Claix in 2013 after a fruitful two years with Guingamp.[5] In 2015, she transferred to FC Minsk, with quite lucrative terms.[6][7][8]

For the 2016–17 she moved to Aurillac Arpajon, in the French second tier.[9] In 2018 she plays for Albi Croix.[10]

International

She debuted in the World Cup qualifier against South Africa in 2002, in a 2–1 loss.[11] In the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, she played all three matches of the group stage of the women's football tournament, but the team did not manage to gain a single point and failed to qualify for the following round. She played a key role in Cameroon's campaign in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, scoring a header to complete a comeback win against Switzerland,[12] as well as scoring in the 6–0 rout of Ecuador.[13] She is also the top scorer of the national team.[6]
