Bastien Ndemeni Meupiyou Menadjou (born 19 March 2006) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ligue 1 club Nantes.
Born in Paris in Ile de France, Meupiyou started his career playing for clubs in his region such as Paris FC and Montfermeil.[1] In 2019 joined the youth team of Nantes. On 1 September 2023, he made his professional debut in a Ligue 1 game, appearing in the starting lineup for the match against Marseille. He received a red card in the 9th minute and was sent off, thus becoming the second youngest player in the league's history to receive a red card.[2] [3] [4]
While also eligible to play for Cameroon, Meupiyou chose to represent France at youth level.[5] In May 2023, he was selected with the France under 17s for the 2023 UEFA European Under-17 Championship organized in Hungary.[6] Meupiyou appeared in all six matches during the tournament, including the final game against Germany where France was defeated in the penalty shootouts after a goalless draw in main time.[7]
