Christian Mougang Bassogog (born 18 October 1995) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays for Saudi Pro League club Al-Okhdood and the Cameroon national team as a right winger or forward.

Club career

[edit]

Rainbow FC

[edit]

Bassogog began his career in his native Cameroon at second division side Rainbow, graduating from the youth system.[3]

Wilmington Hammerheads

[edit]

On 29 April 2015, Bassogog joined the United Soccer League club Wilmington Hammerheads, in the United States.[4] Christian played 16 games and made two assists for the American club before he moved to the Danish club AaB.[5] On 28 August, he signed a four-year contract with his new club.

AaB

[edit]

On 29 September 2015, Bassogog made his debut for his new club AaB in the Danish Cup against the Aarhus-located team Lystrup IF. He came on the pitch in the second half with a half hour left.

On 11 February 2016, in the Danish Superliga winter break, Bassogog was chosen to play the forward-position in a friendly match against Sioni Bolnisi from Georgia. He scored two goals in the match, and former head coach Lars Søndergaard talked afterwards about, that Bassogog in the future could be used on the forward-position instead of the wing.[6]

On 29 February 2016, he got his debut in the Danish Superliga against Midtjylland. He came on the pitch with 10 minutes left.

Following a string of impressive performances for Cameroon at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, AaB sporting director Allan Gaarde commented that Bassogog was the subject of multiple queries regarding potential moves away from AaB in the 2017 January transfer window.[7]

Henan Jianye

[edit]

On 19 February 2017, AaB officially announced the departure of Bassogog for a reported fee of 45 million Danish kroner (approx. £5 million) to join the Chinese side Henan Jianye. This was a recording-breaking transfer fee for AaB, surpassing that of Jesper Grønkjær when he signed for the Dutch club Ajax Amsterdam for £3.5 million in October 1997.[8]

On 31 July 2020, Bassogog tested positive for COVID-19 in Guangzhou.[9]

Shanghai Shenhua

[edit]

On 26 February 2021, Bassogog signed with Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.[10]

Ankaragücü

[edit]

On 8 February 2024, Bassogog moved to Ankaragücü in Turkey on a 1.5-year contract.[11]

Al-Okhdood

[edit]

On 1 September 2024, Bassogog joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Okhdood,[12]

International career

[edit]
Bassogog playing for Cameroon in June 2017

Christian Bassogog had a stellar 2017 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring once en route to their victory, and was named as the Best Player at AFCON 2017. On 11 November 2022, Bassogog was selected for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.[13] On 27 November 2022, Bassogog received a yellow card from the referee who deemed his celebration for a goal too excessive. He was not on the field that time.
