Career

edit

Bekamenga previously played for Negeri Sembilan FA of Malaysia.[1] and Persib Bandung of Indonesia.[2] He scored 17 goals in 19 appearances.[3]

Because of his success at Persib Bandung, he was transferred to French club FC Nantes in January 2008. He helped the Olympic Lions to qualify for the 2008 Summer Olympics billed for Beijing, China.

During the summer 2015 transfer window Bekamenga moved to Troyes AC, however within a month the striker was reported to have moved again, to Turkish side Kardemir Karabükspor.[4]

On the last day of the January transfer market, Bekamenga was one of 22 players on two hours, that signed for Turkish club Elazığspor.[5] had been placed under a transfer embargo but managed to negotiate it with the Turkish FA, leading to them going on a mad spree of signing and registering a load of players despite not even having a permanent manager in place. In just two hours, they managed to snap up a record 22 players - 12 coming in on permanent contracts and a further 10 joining on loan deals until the end of the season.

On 24 January 2020, Bekamenga was registered for Turkish-Cypriot club Gençlik Gücü in Nicosia, Cyprus.[6] However, he only played one game for the club on 25 January 2020, before his registration was cancelled again.
