Cameroonian defender Ambroise Oyongo Bitolo signs one-year extension with Paris 13 Atletico

Ambroise Oyongo Bitolo has officially extended his contract with Paris 13 Atletico, securing his stay at the club until June 2026.

The Cameroonian left-back, a key figure in the team’s defensive setup, has been rewarded for his consistency and experience with a one-year extension.

Oyongo featured in 59% of Paris 13 Atletico’s league matches this season, underlining his continued value to the squad.

Across all competitions, the 33-year-old made 24 appearances and contributed three assists—a tally that reflects both his attacking initiative and defensive reliability.

His performances have not gone unnoticed by club management, who have opted to retain his services as they continue building for the future.

Paris 13 Atletico, who compete in the French lower leagues, see Oyongo as a pillar of stability. Despite the modest setting, his impact has been significant, providing a leadership presence on the pitch and a guiding influence for younger players in the dressing room.

With a current market value of €100,000, Oyongo remains a low-cost yet high-value option for the club, offering top-flight experience and versatility.

His extension comes at a crucial time for Paris 13 Atletico, who are aiming to consolidate their position and improve on recent campaigns.

Trained at Coton Sport FC in Cameroon, Oyongo’s career has spanned several continents and leagues.

He first made his mark internationally during his stint in Major League Soccer, representing both New York Red Bulls and CF Montréal, where his technical ability and attacking instincts quickly caught the eye.

His move to Europe saw him sign for Montpellier in France’s Ligue 1, before joining Russian Premier League side FC Krasnodar. Each stop in his journey added new layers to his game, equipping him with tactical knowledge and a well-rounded skill set.

His arrival at Paris 13 Atletico marked a return to France and a step into a leadership role. While the club may not compete at the heights of Ligue 1, Oyongo’s professionalism and pedigree have elevated standards within the squad.

His ability to read the game, coupled with his experience on the international stage with the Cameroonian national team, has brought an added dimension to the team’s play.

Oyongo, who hails from Ndikiniméki in Cameroon, was part of the Indomitable Lions squad that lifted the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. His international background has made him one of the most recognisable names in the current Paris 13 Atletico setup. With this new contract, he now has the chance to further solidify his legacy in French football while mentoring the next generation.

Paris 13 Atletico are expected to officially announce the contract extension within the coming hours. For Oyongo, the deal provides both continuity and an opportunity to continue competing at a high level. For the club, it ensures that one of their most seasoned campaigners will remain part of their evolving project.
