Zola Matumona (born 26 November 1981) is a Congolese footballer. He is currently playing for Congolese side La Rennaissance.

Career

Matumona arrives at the AS Vita Club of Kinshasa (one of the biggest clubs in the DR Congo) after spending a season at Styles of Congo, second division club. He quickly became the darling of the fans club green and black that call him "Room" in reference to his game comparable to the German player, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. He spent five seasons, won a championship of the Congo, several league titles Kinshasa, he participated in the Champions League CAF and the CAF Cup with his club. He also wins the award for best player of Congo several times before leaving the club. He landed at FC Brussels in 2007 for a sum of 60,000 Euros.

A speedy central midfielder with excellent technique and ball control, Matumona walked out of FC Brussels on 2 November 2007 after he accused club chairman Johan Vermeersch of making racist remarks towards him during a crisis meeting at the struggling club. Vermeersch was reported to have told Matumona to "think about other things than trees and bananas".[1] The incident also prompted the club's main sponsor, Korean car manufacturer Kia, to withdraw their sponsorship of the Belgian side.[2] But He terminates his contract unilaterally with the club following the racist remarks against him by the President. According to the player's lawyer, Johan Vermeersch had rebuked Matumona and had explained that he "was not in his country and had to forget trees and bananas" in the presence of staff and other players. The lawyer confirms his statements but said it was "a joke". Although on 7 November Matumona agreed to return to FC Brussels after talks with Vermeesch, Kia still refused to renew their contract with the club.[3]

Matumona eventually resumed his contract binding him to the club until 2009 after a meeting with the president who publicly apologized for his remarks.

Zola Matumona has since attracted interest from England. After visa problems initially delayed his trial with Birmingham City,[4] 'Zoe' trained with the club during the 2007–08 season and joined their July 2008 pre-season tour, where he impressed manager Alex McLeish in a 3–1 victory over Czech side FC Viktoria Plzeň.

He subsequently committed to Mons, a second division club where the coach Rudi Cossey decided to incorporate it within its nucleus for the 2009-2010 season. "I signed in Mons because I appreciate the ambitions within the club. e have followed to date only two drives with the group but it went very well. The atmosphere is very good. Now we wait calmly start to the season. That's when it will win games, "confided the New Dragon after signing his contract.

International

Matumona made his international debut on 20 August 2002 vs Algeria in a 1–1 draw.He scored his first international goal on 5 June 2005 vs Kampala when Democratic Republic of Congo. won 4–0.[5]
