Jocelyn Angloma (born 7 August 1965 in Abymes, Guadeloupe) is a French-Guadeloupean former football defender.

Career

He was a member of the Marseille team which won the 1993 UEFA Champions League. He played more than 400 games in European first divisions, including 120 appearances with Valencia in Spain, where he played until his retirement in 2002. He played in the UEFA Champions League Finals of 2000 and 2001 for them, but was on the losing side on both occasions.

International career

He played 37 times for France, scoring one goal. Angloma was part of the squad at Euro 92 and Euro 96.

Comeback with Guadeloupe

In 2006, Angloma came out of retirement to play for his native région, Guadeloupe, and help them qualify for the 2007 Caribbean Nations Cup. He was allowed to represent Guadeloupe because Guadeloupe is not a FIFA member and only participates in regional competitions. After his return from retirement, Angloma moved from his natural position as a right back and played as a midfield playmaker for Guadeloupe.

Guadeloupe eventually topped the group, qualifying for the semi-final. Guadeloupe subsequently finished fourth after Cuba gained revenge with a 2–1 victory in the third-place match. By finishing fourth, Guadeloupe qualified for the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup in the United States, the first time Guadeloupe had qualified for the Gold Cup.

At the Gold Cup, Angloma scored the opener with an angled, volleyed 25-yard lob in Guadeloupe's 2–1 upset over past Gold Cup winner Canada on 9 June 2007 at the historic Miami Orange Bowl.
