He spent most of his professional career in Portugal, appearing for six different clubs and amassing Primeira Liga totals of 169 matches and eight goals over seven seasons.

Club career

Tueba was born in Kinshasa, Zaire. After arriving in Portugal at age 23 from AS Vita Club, he went on to spend the following decade in the country, starting out with Primeira Liga club S.L. Benfica and helping it to three national accolades during his two-year spell, although he never was an undisputed starter. [1]

Released in summer 1988, after the team lost the final of the European Cup to PSV Eindhoven – he was not picked for the decisive game's squad – Tueba consolidated himself in the Portuguese top flight in the following years, successively representing Vitória de Setúbal, F.C. Tirsense, S.C. Farense and Gil Vicente FC. In 1993, he moved to the second division with Leixões SC, then continued to play in the country until the age of 37, his final years being spent in amateur football. [1]

International career

Tueba represented Zaire at the 1992 African Cup of Nations in Senegal, scoring one goal for the eventual quarter-finalists. [2]
