Mathieu Nguefack (born 14 May 2008) is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bundesliga club Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Mönchengladbach, Nguefack is a youth product of Alemannia Aachen (until 2016) and Borussia Mönchengladbach (2016–2026), where he played in all age categories, most notably winning the U17 Bundesliga as a captain.[1][2]

He was reported to have signed a 4-years[3][4] contract with Borussia in May 2025,[5][6] as he started playing with the reserve team during the following season.[3][4]

On the summer 2026, he was added to Borussia Mönchengladbach's first team along other academy products like Fritz Fleck or Iaia Manco Danfa.[7]

Nguefack made his professional debut with Borussia Mönchengladbach in a 3–0 Bundesliga away defeat to RB Leipzig on 29 August 2026.[8][9]

He made his first start during the following league game, a 3–4 home loss to Felix Keidel and Lukas Petkov's SV Elversberg,[10][11] and despite his club going through a difficult period result-wise, Nguefack managed to become a regular presence with the first team, confirming his status as the club most promising youngster.[3][12][13]

International career

[edit]

Born in Germany, Nguefack also has Cameroonian origins.[2] He is a youth international for Germany, having played for the under-15, under-16, under-17 and under-18.[14]
