Jacques Elong Elong (born February 20, 1985 in Douala, Cameroon) is a Cameroonian football player who plays for Persepolis F.C. in Iran's Premier Football League and the Cameroon national football team. He usually plays in the midfield position.
[edit] Club career
He currently plays for Persepolis F.C. in the Iranian Premier League. He previously played for Mount Cameroon FC in Cameroon.
He is a versatile player, able to serve in defence but also assist in goal scoring. His brilliant passing abilities have made him a regular in Persepolis, playing in the defensive midfield position. He also shoots well, especially from outside the penalty spot, though he has yet to score for Persepolis.
In 2006 Elong received an offer from Qatari club Al-Sadd, but he rejected it since he had just got a permanent place in the Persepolis team. Mustafa Denizli, current manager of the club, also confirmed that none of his players are for sale.
A severe injury on his knee had caused him to be out for 90% of the Persian Gulf Cup (2006-2007) season, although he recovered and took part in Persepolis' camp in Dubai and is fit to play for the rest of the season.
[edit] International career
Jacques Elong Elong debuted up for the Cameroon national football team in an African Nations Cup qualifier against Equatorial Guinea on October 7 in Yaounde. Arie Haan, his former coach at Persepolis F.C., gave him a spot in the national team.
