Bruno Alberto Langa (born 31 October 1997) is a Mozambican professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Spanish club UD Almería and the Mozambique national team.
Langa began his senior career in Mozambique, with Maxaquene. In July 2018, he was bought by Black Bulls, but moved on loan to Portuguese club Amora in the Campeonato de Portugal.[1]
After being regularly used at Amora, Langa signed a permanent three-year contract with the club on 26 May 2019,[2] but joined Primeira Liga side Vitória de Setúbal on loan on 22 June,[3] being assigned to the under-23 team.[4] He returned to Amora in July 2020, after terminating his loan,[5] being named in the Campeonato de Portugal Team of the Year for the 2020–21 season.[6]
On 23 June 2021, Langa joined Chaves in the Liga Portugal 2.[7] He made his professional debut with the club on 24 July, in a 2–1 Taça da Liga loss to Farense,[8] and was a regular starter during the campaign as his side achieved promotion to the top tier.[9]
Langa made his debut in the top tier of Portuguese football on 7 August 2022, starting in a 1–0 home loss to Vitória de Guimarães. He scored his first professional goal on 3 September 2023, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 home loss to Moreirense.
On 1 February 2024, Spanish La Liga side Almería announced the signing of Langa on loan until the end of the season, with a buyout clause.[10] On 2 July, despite the club's relegation, he signed a permanent four-year contract with them.[11]
Langa represented the Mozambique U20s at the 2016 COSAFA U-20 Cup.[12] He made his debut with the senior Mozambique national team in a 3–0 2016 COSAFA Cup loss to Namibia on 21 June 2016.[13]
