DR Congolese footballer (born 1991)
Fideline Ngoy Mudimbi (born 31 March 1991) is a DR Congolese footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for LINAFF club TP Mazembe and captains the DR Congo national team.[3][4]
Club career
Ngoy has played for Trinita, Force Terrestre and Amani in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and for Progresso Associação do Sambizanga in Angola.
She moved to Turkey mid November 2022, and signed with Adana İdman Yurdu to play in the 2022–23 Women's Super League.[5]
International career
Ngoy represented the DR Congo at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, appearing in a 1–3 loss to Japan.[6] She capped at senior level during the 2012 African Women's Championship.[7]
Controversy
Playing in Turkey, Ngoy claimed to have been born on 31 March 1999,[5] despite previous official registries from FIFA and CAF indicating she was born on 31 March 1991.[1][2] In December 2023, during the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualification, she used the 1999 document to play against Equatorial Guinea, which had hosted the 2012 African Women's Championship, where she had used the 1991 document. After the conclusion of the round and the in-field DR Congo qualification, Ngoy's irregular fielding was claimed by the Equatoguinean Football Federation, expecting CAF disqualifies DR Congo and reinstates Equatorial Guinea as a result.[8]
