Background
Carol Manga (born c. 1988), who grew up in Yaounde, loved association football as a child, and started playing rugby union at the age of 14, going on to play in the national team at the age of 16. He has captained both rugby sevens and rugby union teams. He moved to Australia in 2008 to play rugby, and discovered and fell in love with rugby league, where he played in Cooma, New South Wales. He took the game back to Cameroon in 2012, helping to establish the Cameroon Rugby League XIII. Ten years later in September 2022, at the age of 34, he is once again in training, with the hope of playing in and possibly captaining the national league team.
