Barnabé Mubumbyi

Barnabé Mubumbyi (born 24 July 1994) is a Rwandan football striker who currently plays for Helges IF.

He played in Rwanda, winning three league titles and one cup title with APR between 2014 and 2016. He made his international debut for Rwanda in November 2012, in a friendly against Namibia, and among others played the 2012 CECAFA Cup and the 2018 African Nations Championship.

In March 2018 he was brought by Hans Larsson on trial with Mjällby AIF in Sweden. In October the same year he was on trial in Sandvikens IF together with compatriot Yannick Mukunzi. Even though they both "impressed", a transfer did not happen for Mubumbyi, but he remained in Sweden, signing on for Kramfors-Alliansen in Division 2. Said a representative of the club; "he is an asylum boy, and then you never know how long he is allowed to stay".

In the summer of 2019 Valbo FF needed a replacement for Tshutshu Tshakasua and had Mubumbyi on trial. He played for Valbo in 2020, but became noted after joining Helges IF in 2021. The team was low-tier, playing in Division 4, where Mubumbyi scored 6 goals in his first match against BK Legend. He quickly became top goalscorer in the league. In 2022 he scored 6 goals against his former team Valbo.
