Vincent Atchouailou de Paul Angban (born 2 February 1985) is an Ivorian former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
Born in Yamoussoukro, Angban began his career in Rio Sport d'Anyama and was promoted to the first team in 2005. He left after two years in Anyama.[1] Angban joined Sabé Sports for the 2006-07 season.
In 2007, Angban joined ASEC Mimosas.[2] There, he was the first-choice goalkeeper until the beginning of the 2009 season, when Daniel Yeboah replaced him due to an injury. Yeboah convinced the manager of his qualities and stayed on the pitch when Angban was fit again.[3] At the end of his contract with ASEC, Angban had trials with Africa Sports, Séwé Sports, Montreal Impact and Jeunesse, before signing permanently for Jeunesse.
Angban signed for Jeunesse, ASEC's rivals, after a successful trial at the end of his ASEC spell.
Angban played later for AFAD Djékanou, Africa Sports d'Abidjan and Simba Sports Club.
Angban formerly played with the Ivory Coast at African U-20 Championship 2005 in Benin.[4] He represented his country at the 2008 Olympic Games.[5]
Angban's younger brother, Victorien, is also a professional footballer.[6] He plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club FC Metz.
