Aimé Bakula (born 14 February 1985) is a Congolese former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He spent over a decade with TP Mazembe before a loan spell at CS Don Bosco and was part of Mazembe’s most successful era.[1][2]

Bakula began his senior career with TP Mazembe in 2007, largely serving as a backup to Robert Kidiaba but still making 192 appearances for the club.[1] During his time at Mazembe, he won multiple domestic league titles and continental honours, including two CAF Champions League trophies.[2]

In October 2017, he was loaned to CS Don Bosco for one season to gain more playing time.[1] He returned to TP Mazembe in July 2018 and signed a two-year contract extension running through June 2020.[3]

Later career

By 2025, Bakula was playing for CS Don Bosco again in the Linafoot league.[4] He was named Man of the Match in several games, including against Blessing FC and AS Maniema Union, earning praise for his reflexes and composure even at the age of 40.[5]
