Brice Wembangomo (born 18 December 1996) is a professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Eliteserien club Bodø/Glimt. Born in Zaire, he plays for the Norway national team.
Wembangomo was born in Kinshasa, Zaire,[1] and moved to Østfold in Norway with his family when he was a child.[2] He is the brother of the footballer Hugues Wembangomo.[3]
Wembangomo started his career as a child in the tiny club Tveter IL, then Skjeberg SK.[4] He joined Sarpsborg 08 from Sarpsborg FK while a youth player, and made his senior debut in Eliteserien for Sarpsborg 08 in September 2014 against Start. After this one game he was sent on loan to Kvik Halden FK in the entire 2015 season, and to Fredrikstad FK in the latter part of 2016. After this he moved permanently to FK Jerv in 2017 and further on to Sandefjord Fotball in 2019. In June 2020 he played the season opener for Sandefjord, his first first-tier game in six years and his second Eliteserien game overall.
On 3 January 2022, Bodø/Glimt announced that they had signed Wembangomo on a three-year contract that would run until December 2024.[5] His official club debut came on 17 February as a starter at left-back in a 3–1 victory in the UEFA Europa Conference League over Celtic at Celtic Park.[6] [7] He made his debut in the domestic league on the opening day of the season as a starter against Rosenborg in a 2–2 draw, providing an assist for Runar Espejord for Bodø's second goal.[8] [9]
Having never represented a youth national team, Wembangomo received his first international callup for Norway in June 2023.[10] He won his first cap as a substitute against Cyprus.[4]
He is a younger brother of Hugues Wembangomo.
