Basaula Lemba (born 3 March 1965) is a Congolese retired footballer who played as a midfielder.
Almost his entire professional career was spent in Portugal, mainly with Vitória de Guimarães.




Club career


Born in Kinshasa, Zaire, Lemba arrived in Portugal at the age of 21, signing with Vitória S.C. from AS Vita Club but having absolutely no impact in his first season – seven matches. He spent the following three campaigns also in the Primeira Liga, representing O Elvas C.A.D. and C.F. Estrela da Amadora.
Basaula – called by his first name whilst in Portugal – re-joined Vitória in 1990, becoming an important midfield element at the Minho club and sharing teams with countryman N'Dinga Mbote during his spell. In January 1995 he left for another side in the country, C.F. Os Belenenses, switching to F.C. Tirsense shortly after. After one year in the second division with Moreirense F.C. he moved to the lower leagues, representing two teams in the fourth level until his retirement at the age of 35.




International career


Lemba played for Zaire at the 1992 and 1994 editions of the Africa Cup of Nations, with both tournaments ending in quarter-final exits.
