Massimo Colomba (born 24 August 1977 in Villars-sur-Glâne) is a Swiss footballer who currently plays as goalkeeper for FC Basel in the Swiss Super League.
As a child Colomba played in the youth teams of his local side FC Villars-sur-Glâne. In 1995 he moved to Fribourg and played one year for FC Richemond and one for FC Beauregard.
Colomba began his professional career with Neuchatel Xamax in 1997. He was their reserve goalkeeper for three years and first-choice keeper during the 2000–01 and 2001–02 seasons. At the beginning of the 2002-03 season he joined FC Aarau and was the club's first-choice goalkeeper. On 26 April 2003 he scored his first and only goal for Aarau in the match against FC St. Gallen.[1] He played in Aarau until the 2007/08 season. Because he was usurped by Ivan Benito he left the club at the end of the season and joined Grasshoppers Zürich as understudy to Eldin Jakupović.
On 16 June 2009, he joined FC Basel as reserve goalkeeper on a three-year contract.[2] He made his debut for Basel in the 3–1 away defeat against his former club Grasshoppers on 16 August 2009.[3]
