Mohamed "Momo" M'Changama (born 8 June 1987) is a French-born Comorian football player who currently plays for local club US Zilimadjou in Comoros Premier League. He plays as a striker and joined his current club after stints with amateur clubs Aubagne and Gardanne and professional club Nîmes. M'Changama is a Comorian international and made his debut with the team on 9 October 2010 in a match against Mozambique.
M'Changama was born in the city of Marseille to Comorian parents and developed an interest in football at a young age alongside his younger brother Youssouf. The elder M'Changama struggled to make the grade among clubs situated around the south of France and, ultimately, considered giving the sport up. On the other hand, M'Changama's younger brother Youssouf drew interest from several professional clubs and eventually signed a youth contract with Sedan. He later joined Troyes. With M'Changama's impending future looking bleak, he decided to focus more on his studies.
In 2007, M'Changama returned to football joining amateur club Aubagne FC, who were playing in the Division d'Honneur, the sixth level of French football. He spent two seasons at the club and, in 2009, after displaying positive form with the club, secured a move to nearby club Gardanne in the Championnat de France amateur 2. M'Changama played on the club's senior team for the 2009–10 season helping Gardanne finish in a respectable 7th place in its group.
In 2010, M'Changama signed an amateur contract with professional club Nîmes Olympique. He was immediately inserted onto the club's reserve team. In September 2010, he was called up to the senior team by manager Jean-Michel Cavalli. M'Changama made his professional debut on 1 October in a league match against Le Mans appearing as a substitute in a 2–1 defeat. He made his first start a fortnight later in a 0–0 draw with Istres. M'Changama was praised for his contribution in the match against Istres by Cavalli and, subsequently, began training with the senior team on a regular basis. On 19 October, he scored his first professional goal in a 3–1 loss against Évian.
