Pablo Ndong Esi (1969 – 15 December 2010), better known as Boyas, was an Equatoguinean football goalkeeper and manager.
The stadium located in Sampaka, a town between Luba and Malabo, is called "Estadio Pablo Boyas" as a posthumous honor.
Boyas was with the Equatoguinean senior team in 2002, when he participated of an Africa Cup of Nations 2004 Qualifying match against Sierra Leone on 8 September.[1] In turn, he was substitute in an Africa Cup of Nations 2008 Qualifying match against Cameroon on 7 October 2006.[2]
Boyas also had B matches in 1999, playing the UNIFAC Cup.[3]
Boyas was killed, alongside the Equatoguinean women's international footballer Téclaire Bille and her eldest brother on 15 December 2010, in a road accident between Yaoundé and Douala in Cameroon.[4] He was the head coach of Deportivo Mongomo.[5]
