It was reported that Guy had played 6 matches with the Cameroon, which two of the caps are official for his national team.[6]

Controversy

In July 2007, there was another footballer from Cameroon with the same name who was playing for the Greek team, Ergotelis FC, officially named Guy Bwelle which was 28 years old that time. It was reported that Guy Bwelle had suddenly left the club. The other Guy Bwelle, was on trial with Norwegian club IK Start. This controversy immediately attracted the media shortly after the second Guy Bwelle appeared with a friendly against FC Copenhagen.[7]

However, the second Guy Bwelle did not manage to get a contract as the Norwegian football authorities had expressed concern that he might had falsely used Bwelle's identity.[8]

It later turned out that the second Guy Bwelle might be his cousin, and his name is different as the person who attended the trial, who was born in 1984, is officially named Guy Bwele, not Guy Bwelle.[9]
