Igor Engonga Noval (born 4 January 1995) is an Equatoguinean professional footballer who plays for Spanish club Portugalete. Mainly a centre back, he can also play as a central midfielder.

Club career

Born in Santander, Cantabria, Engonga graduated from Gimnástica de Torrelavega's youth setup. He made his senior debuts in the 2012–13 campaign, being relegated from Segunda División B.

On 13 December 2013 Engonga joined Celta de Vigo, being assigned to the Juvenil squad.[1] On 7 August 2014 he joined third-tier CD Tropezón, in a season-long loan deal.[2]

International career

Engonga's paternal grandfather, Vicente Engonga Nguema, was born in Bisabat, Kié-Ntem, making him eligible to both Equatorial Guinea and Spain.

On 7 January 2015 Engonga made his full international debut, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 friendly draw against Cape Verde.[3] A day later, he was included in Esteban Becker's 23-man list for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations,[4] but did not play at the tournament, in which his country finished fourth on home soil.

He scored his first goal for Equatorial Guinea on 6 June 2015, the only goal in the 17th minute to win an away friendly against Andorra.[5]
