Pierre Boya

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pierre Boya (born January 15, 1984 in Yaoundé, Cameroon) is a Cameroonian footballer.

He currently plays for Romania's Rapid Bucureşti where he arrived in early June 2007. Before coming to Romania, he played for Partizan Belgrade, the highlight of his career in Serbia-Montenegro coming in the December 2004 UEFA Cup draw (2-2) away at S.S. Lazio when he scored both Partizan goals. Unfortunately, for a year-and-a-half afterwards he was unable to find the back of the net. He finally ended his goalscoring drought on April 8, 2006, scoring a brace during the league match versus FK Voždovac.

In the meantime he also recorded another dubious achievement in the crucial Champions League qualifier versus Artmedia Bratislava. After missing several clear cut chances through the two matches, he failed to convert a crucial penalty in the shootout that would have qualified Partizan for the 2005/06 UEFA Champions League.

In the summer of 2007 Boya was transferred to Rapid Bucureşti. He already vowed to score at least 2 goals against both rivals Dinamo and Steaua next season.

Pierre has 4 caps for Cameroon.
