Alphonse Marie Tchami Djomaha (born 14 September 1971) is a Cameroonian former professional footballer who played as a striker. At international level, he represented Cameroon at the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cups.
Born in Kekem, Tchami began his career in Cameroon with Unisport Bafang before moving to Danish club Vejle BK. In his short spell at Vejle he scored 8 goals in 15 games, but was unable to prevent the club being relegated. Tchami's spell at Vejle led to interest from other Danish clubs and Tchami eventually moved to Odense BK (OB). Tchami was a part of the OB team that defeated Real Madrid in the 1994–95 UEFA Cup third round by 4–3 on aggregate, earning a place in the quarter-finals.

[4] Tchami spent four months at the Scottish club, leaving in December [5] after playing in four matches and failing to score. Nice was Tchami's next club, where he signed a short-term contract until the end of the season. [6] In August 2001, Tchami left France - putting what was termed a "bad spell" behind him [7] - and moved to Russian club Chernomorets, [8] before moving again, this time to Shenyang Ginde in China. He signed for Lebanese club Nejmeh in September 2003 but left after less than three weeks, [9] ending his career back in France with amateur side Épernay. His club career spanned twelve clubs in ten countries over four continents.
