AS Saint-Étienne is closely monitoring young Cameroonian talents and offering an opportunity to David Bondoma, a 16-year-old attacking midfielder, to prove himself. Following an initial trial at Nice, the young Cameroonian international will try to convince the Saint-Étienne club to integrate him into their training center.
David Bondoma has been noted for his technique, vision of the game, and maturity on the field. Trained at Oyili FC, he can play as a relay or playmaker, combining creativity and tactical sense. His qualities have earned him consideration as one of the greatest hopes of Cameroonian football.
Despite a positive trial at Nice, administrative obstacles had prevented the signing of a contract. Bondoma has continued to progress, gaining experience in Asia and shining at the 2025 UNIFFAC tournament, where he finished as the top passer with Cameroon at just 15 years old.
The trial at Saint-Étienne represents an important step for Bondoma. The club, known for the quality of its training, will carefully evaluate the player before making a decision. For the young Lionceau, the goal is clear: to demonstrate his potential and take a new step towards professionalism.
AS Saint-Étienne, under the leadership of their coach Philippe Montanier, seems indeed willing to bet on young talents. It remains to be seen whether David Bondoma will seize this opportunity and convince Les Verts to give him a chance. If the trial is successful, Montanier could integrate him into his squad.
