Albert Meyong Zé (born 19 October 1980 in Yaoundé), known as Meyong, is a Cameroonian footballer who plays for C.D. Nacional in the Portuguese first division, as a striker.
Meyong started playing in Europe still a youngster, for Italian club Ravenna Calcio. After one 1/2 seasons he moved to Portuguese first division side Vitória Futebol Clube. At Setúbal, he won the Portuguese Cup in 2005, having scored the winning goal in the final against S.L. Benfica.[1]
In summer 2005, Meyong signed a two-year contract with C.F. Os Belenenses (where he was the league's top goalscorer, despite the club's bottom-four finish), but moved to Levante UD a year later.[2] Due to late payment of salary, he was loaned to Albacete Balompié, after one appearance for Levante in 2007–08.
In January 2008, Meyong returned to Portugal and Belenenses, scoring the penalty winner against Associação Naval 1º de Maio in a 2–1 home win but, being this the third club he represented in 2007–08, which is against FIFA regulations, his registration was deemed illegal and Belenenses condemned to lose six points in the table (awarded 0–3 loss and three-point penalty in this match).[3]
In August 2008, Meyong joined another Portuguese club, Sporting de Braga.[4] On August 23, 2008, he scored his first goal for the club, in a 2–0 win at F.C. Paços de Ferreira. He added a hat-trick on 18 September, in a UEFA Cup first round contest against Artmedia Bratislava, a 4–0 home success. Midway through 2008–09, he prolonged his contract for another year, until June 2011.
In the 2009–10 season, Meyong was an essential offensive figure for Braga, netting 11 league goals as the Minho club finished in the second position, a best-ever. During the campaign, for example, he found the net against Sporting Clube de Portugal (2–1 away triumph[5]), and also scored two late penalties against neighbours Vitória de Guimarães (3–2 home win).
After three and a half years at Braga, Meyong joined Nacional of the Primeira Liga on a free transfer in January 2012 after very little playing time in league and cup competitions. [6]
