Juvenal Edjogo-Owono Montalbán (born 3 April 1979), known simply as Juvenal, is an Equatoguinean footballer who plays for Andorran club FC Santa Coloma as a midfielder.

Club career

Born in Sabadell, Barcelona, Catalonia, to an Equatoguinean father and a Spanish mother, Juvenal played in the lower leagues in four of his first five years as a senior, including three with RCD Espanyol's reserves, who loaned him to Levante UD in 2001 for his first professional experience (Segunda División). In the 2003–04 season he was part of Racing de Santander's La Liga roster, but did not appear in the competition for the Cantabrians, being released in the January transfer window.

In the following two seasons, Juvenal played in the second level, achieving top flight promotions with both Deportivo Alavés and Recreativo de Huelva. In the 2006–07 campaign he failed that objective with CD Tenerife, also appearing in less than one 1/2 of the league games.

In the 2008 summer, after one season in Segunda División B with FC Cartagena, 29-year-old Juvenal returned to his hometown and signed for CE Sabadell FC, contributing with 34 appearances and five goals in his third year as the Arlequinats returned to division two after an absence of 18 years.

International career

Juvenal qualified for Equatorial Guinea because of his father, born in Niefang – his mother hailed from Andalusia. He made his debut for the national team in 2003 and, between that year and 2008, appeared in eight FIFA World Cup qualification matches, scoring on 7 June 2008 in a 1–4 away defeat against South Africa for the 2010 edition.[1]

In late 2007, Juvenal played in unofficial games against the Region of Murcia[2] and Extremadura.[3] Two months before his 36th birthday, and immediately after the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, he retired from international football.[4]

Personal life

Juvenal's younger brothers, Alberto and José, are also footballers. The former, a forward, also represented Sabadell, but played almost exclusively in the lower divisions, with a brief spell with UE Sant Andreu in the third level.

The latter never competed in higher than the regional divisions.[6]
