Jacques Mamounoubala (2 April 1953 – 28 May 2016) was a Congolese footballer. Nicknamed "La Mama", he played as a left winger for CARA Brazzaville throughout the 1970s and the 1980s. He also represented his home country of Congo–Brazzaville at the 1978 African Cup of Nations.
Mamounoubala began his career playing for Avenir du Rail in the early 1970s before joining CARA Brazzaville in 1974. In his inaguaral season with the club, he won the 1974 African Cup of Champions Clubs.[1] His style of play was characterized by his runs along the touchline usually resulting in crosses or shots towards the goal. He continued playing for the club into the 1980s alongside other players such as Ange Ngapy, Médard Ngakosso and Guy Armand Nkéoua until his retirement in 1985.[2][3] During his tenure with the club, he was the top scorer of the 1980 Congo Ligue 1.[4]
