Henri Bandeken Fong (born 14 February 1990) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for United City.[1]
Bandeken played a large part of his early professional career in his home country of Cameroon, first with Vogt AC and later with Kousseri FC. In between, however, he played as keeper for Elite One club Canon Yaoundé, representing them in the CAF Champions League playoffs.[2] [3] [4]
In 2015, he moved from Cameroon to sign with Stallion of the United Football League alongside Serge Kaole, playing with them for one season, finishing fifth.[5] [6] In 2016, he moved to Green Archers United.[7]
Bandeken would stay with Green Archers United for the Weekend Futbol League after the club declined to participate in the newly-formed PFL. However, he remained with the squad when they did join, keeping second-most clean sheets with 8.[8]
He moved to new club Maharlika Manila in 2020 for their debut season, displaying more top-drawer performances.[9] [10] [11]
In 2022, he moved to Mendiola 1991 for the upcoming 2022–23 season.[12] [13] [14]
In 2023, after a short break, he would sign with PFL champions Kaya–Iloilo as a goalkeeping reinforcement for the 2023–24 AFC Champions League.[15] [16]
While playing football for Vogt AC, he was called up to the Cameroon national team for the 2007 CEMAC Cup in Chad, though the country did not send an official first-team but one composed of amateurs.[17]
