Fiston Kalala Mayele (born 24 June 1994),[1] is a Congolese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Egyptian Premier League club Pyramids FC and the DR Congo national team.[2]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Mayele started his career at AS Vita Club in the Congolese Linafoot league. In the 2020–21 season, he finished as runner-up on the Linafoot top scorers list. On August 1, 2021, he signed a two-year deal with Tanzanian club Young Africans.[3][4]

He quickly became a fan favorite at Young Africans after scoring the decisive goal in his debut match—a Charity Shield clash against arch-rivals Simba SC—played in front of a full-capacity crowd of 60,000 at Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium.[5][6]

During his time with Young Africans, Mayele delivered outstanding performances, scoring 12 goals in seven matches at one point, including a run of seven goals in six games.[7][8][9]

In 2023, he joined Egyptian side Pyramids. On 30 August 2024, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory over ZED in the Egypt Cup final, securing his club's maiden title in all competitions.[10] In the 2025 CAF Champions League final, Mayele made history by scoring the opening goal against Mamelodi Sundowns in the second leg of a 2–1 win, helping his team clinch their first-ever continental title with a 3–2 aggregate victory. He finished the tournament as the top scorer, netting six goals.[11]

On 23 September 2025, he netted a hat-trick for Pyramids in a 3–1 win over Al-Ahli, securing his club's African–Asian–Pacific Cup title.[12] A month later, on 18 October, he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win over RS Berkane in the CAF Super Cup.[13]
