Club career

Zoubairou was born in Cameroon.

PSIS Semarang

In 2006, Zoubairou joined PSIS Semarang, when he joined PSIS Semarang in the 2006 season. At that time, PSIS Semarang was brought to the Final before finally losing 1–0 by Persik Kediri at Manahan Stadium through Cristian Gonzáles's goal in 107 minutes of extra time. His duet with Maman Abdurrahman and Fofee Kamara at that time made the PSIS Semarang defense impenetrable. He is also familiar with supporters of PSIS Semarang, they call he with the nickname "Lek Slamet". In the 2007 season, he recorded 32 caps and received three yellow cards for PSIS Semarang in the 2007–08 season. But in the 2010–11 season, he canceled the PSIS Semarang because of administrative reasons, so the Semarang PSIS terminated his contract.^{[ citation needed ]}
