Geoffrey Didace Lembet

Geoffrey Didace Lembet plays for Nancy as a goalkeeper, wearing the number 30 shirt. Born in Villeneuve-Saint-Georges, he has built his career primarily through French football, moving between clubs rather than staying long at any single home. His path took him through Sedan before a stint at AJ Auxerre, then a lengthy period with Red Star FC that ran from 2016 to 2023, the longest spell of his career so far. He then joined Stade Rennais on a free transfer in the summer of 2023, staying there until February 2024, before signing for Nancy on another free transfer.

Alongside his club career, Lembet has established himself as a regular starter for the Central African Republic national team. He featured in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, including a heavy 4-0 defeat away to Morocco in September 2024. He was also named in the squad for 2026 World Cup qualifiers, though he was ruled out of a match against Madagascar in September 2025. His international involvement stretches back further still, with call-ups for friendlies against Algeria in both 2011 and 2017, showing a long-standing presence in the national setup even as his club career moved between different French sides.

Standing 186 cm tall, Lembet fits the profile of a modern goalkeeper in terms of stature. His career has been built less on a single defining moment than on steady service across several clubs and, in parallel, a consistent place in his country's goal.
