Annette Jacky Messomo (born 1 March 1993) is a footballer who plays as a midfielder for Kosovan Women's Football League club KFF A&N. Born and raised in Cameroon, she is a naturalized citizen of Equatorial Guinea and has played for that women's national team.

Early life

Messomo was born in Ebolowa, into an Eton family. [2] She grew up in Cameroon where she fell in love with football. She has played football since she was 6 years old, mostly with co-ed teams, due to Cameroon not having an organized structure for women's football.

Club career

Messomo has played for Franck Rholiceck Douala, Louves Minproff Yaoundé and Panthère Security Garoua in Cameroon. She has made appearances at the UEFA Women's Champions League for FK Union Nové Zámky, ŽFK Spartak Subotica and BIIK Kazygurt, clubs from Slovakia, Serbia and Kazakhstan, respectively. [8]

International career

Despite being born in Cameroon, whose women's national football team had pre-called up her in March 2014, [11] Messomo began to play for Equatorial Guinea in 2016. She had previously been called up for them in 2011. [4]

In September 2018, Messomo was declared by FIFA as ineligible to play for Equatorial Guinea because there were allegations of her not being eligible to represent Equatorial Guinea since she was born in Cameroon. The decision was later overruled by the Appeal Board of CAF. [12]

Personal life

In 2015, Messomo began studying at University of Yaoundé II, pursuing a degree in Business administration.
