On 12 July 2019, Malembana signed a three-year contract with Bulgarian First League club Lokomotiv Plovdiv, after a successful trial period with the club.[1] He made his debut a week later, coming on as a substitute for Parvizdzhon Umarbayev in second-half stoppage time of the league match against Slavia Sofia, which finished as a 3–2 home win.[2] In February 2022, Malembana joined the other main "railwaymen" club in Bulgaria - Lokomotiv Sofia.[3]


International career


Malembana was born in Germany to a Mozambican father and German mother. He has stated his dream is to play for the Mozambique national team.[4] He was already called up to represent the African country while he was a Berliner FC Dynamo player, but the head coach of the German side prevented him from going.[4] He debuted with Mozambique in a 1–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification loss to Cameroon on 11 October 2021.[5]
