The 21-year-old center-back completed his free transfer to the club’s reserve setup, locking him into a deal until June 30, 2027. The move marks another international development step for the young defender, who previously played for Canon Sportif de Yaoundé on the domestic circuit before transitioning to lower-tier Spanish football leagues.
Navigating the Spanish Landscape
Motapon will ply his trade in the Tercera Federación (Spain’s fifth tier), which has increasingly become an alternative pathway for emerging African talents seeking European visibility.
- Prior Spanish Experience: Before joining Eldense B, Motapon gathered crucial adaptation experience in the same tier with Athletic Club Torrellano and previously had a stint with the reserve team of Deportivo La Coruña.
- Defensive Profile: Formed at Cameroon’s National Football Academy (ANAFOOT), he achieved continental acclaim in 2023 by winning a gold medal at the Francophonie Games with Cameroon’s U20 national team.
The young defender is expected to immediately integrate into the CD Eldense B squad as they begin intensive pre-season routines ahead of their domestic league opener.
