André Kana-Biyik (born 1 September 1965) is a former Cameroonian footballer who played as a defender. The brother of François, he started a professional career in 1986 with Diamant Yaoundé. From 1988 to 1994 he played in France Ligue 1 with FC Metz and Le Havre AC,[1] making 93 appearances and scoring 8 goals. With the Cameroon national football team he participated at the 1990 and 1994 FIFA World Cups.
Kana-Biyik was sent off in Cameroon's opening game of the 1990 World Cup, a game against Argentina that Cameroon won 1–0. His brother, François Omam-Biyik, scored the goal that defeated the South Americans. Having been suspended for the second match against Romania following his red card in the first, he returned to the team, and picked up yellow cards both in the third group-stage match against the USSR (a heavy defeat, but irrelevant since they were already guaranteed qualification), and the second-round match against Colombia (an extra-time victory): and was thus suspended for a second time in the tournament, for the quarter-final against England - thus becoming the first and so far only player to serve two suspensions in a single World Cup tournament. His son Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik, is also a professional footballer.[2]
