Menga Lioc
“Great things never come from comfort zones.”
About Menga
Menga Lioc has established himself as one of the most dominant young centers in Central African basketball. His combination of size, athleticism, and basketball IQ has made him a cornerstone of both ACPBA's U18 team and the Cameroon National Youth Team.
Growing up in Bamenda, Lioc first picked up basketball at age 12. His natural height and timing for blocks immediately caught the attention of coaches, but it was his dedication to improving his offensive game that set him apart. During his time at ACPBA, he has developed into a complete player capable of scoring from multiple positions.
Lioc's leadership qualities shine both on and off the court. As a team captain, he has mentored younger players and helped create a culture of excellence and hard work. His ultimate goal is to earn a scholarship to a top NCAA program while representing Cameroon on the international stage.
