Leonel Wamba (born 1 September 2002) is a Cameroonian footballer who plays as a striker for Al Wahda.
On July 22, 2022, Lionel Wamba signed a three-year contract with the Algerian champions CR Belouizdad on the recommendation of Nabil Kouki.[1] [2] Wamba said that he is happy to join CRB and that it is a great club. He said he received offers but preferred CR Belouizdad because they sold him an interesting project. He is here to bring something more to the team. He knows there is a lot of competition, but for him. He will fight as he should, whether in the Ligue 1 or Champions League because it will be the first time for him because Wamba has never played in an African tournament. On October 2, 2022, Lionel Wamba scored his first goal in the colors of CR Belouizdad against JS Saoura in a 1–0 win. On October 2, 2023, Wamba scored the first hat-trick in his football career in the second round of the Champions League against Bo Rangers to qualify his team to the group stage.[3]
