Vinny Bongonga Kombe (born 24 March 1996) is a Congolese football striker who plays for Étoile du Sahel.
Following 32 league goals for second-tier club FC Arc-en-Ciel, he moved abroad to AC Léopard in the Republic of the Congo. After winning the league championship there, he moved back to DC Motema Pembe. During his time there, he made his international debut for DR Congo.
A stint with Chinese Liaoning Kaixin in 2019 was halted due to "administrative problems". He immediately returned to DC Motema Pembe.[1] Following 11 goals in the 2019–20 Linafoot, his contract expired, and he was reluctant to sign a new one.[2] Amid rumours of a transfer to Morocco or Belgium,[3] Bongonga moved abroad again, this time to Sudanese club Al-Hilal Omdurman, where he again became league champion. This earned him a move to Tunisia in 2021. Étoile du Sahel signed him on a three-year contract.[4]
By 2023, he was no longer a starter, but played from time to time as the team improved from a weak performance in 2021–22 to win the 2022–23 Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1. Among others, Bongonga scored a winning goal against CSS Sfaxien.[5] [6]
