Fidel Brice Ambina (born 17 November 2001) is a Cameroonian football player who plays as a midfielder for Vålerenga.[1]
Ambina started his senior career in Renaissance FC de Ngoumou, and played for Cameroon U20 in the 2021 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.[2] Ambina moved to South African soccer in February 2022, signing with Cape Town City for four and a half years.[3]
In the summer of 2023, Cape Town City reportedly rejected a transfer bid from Riga FC.[4] However, when the South African league had a winter break in 2024, Ambina was not present at its resumption since he was on trial abroad.[5] Ambina was signed by Norwegian club Vålerenga on a loan until the summer of 2024. Manager Geir Bakke described Ambina as a "typical number six".[6] Dagsavisen surmised that Ambina's holding role in the midfield could open more offensive room for Elias Hagen, Petter Strand or Henrik Bjørdal.[7]
On 24 June 2024, Ambina joined Vålerenga Fotball on a permanent contract.[8]
