Ludovic Gamboa
French and Portuguese footballer
Ludovic Gamboa (born 14 January 1986) is a French professional footballer who plays as a wide midfielder for Championnat National 3 club Colomiers.
Career
He started his career with Chamois Niortais, making his debut in the 3–0 away win over Romorantin on 14 January 2006. After coming on as a second-half substitute for Ronan Biger, Gamboa scored the third goal in the 89th minute. He made two more substitute appearances in the 2005–06 season, both of which were also Niort victories.
Gamboa joined Martigues on a free transfer in July 2007, but he failed to make an impact at the club; his four appearances all came from the substitutes' bench. He left Martigues in January 2008 and signed for Championnat de France amateur (CFA) side Fontenay-le-Comte. During the remainder of the 2007–08 season, Gamboa played three league matches. In the summer of 2008 he switched clubs again, joining CFA Group A club Compiègne.
After scoring 11 goals in 33 matches for Compiègne, Gamboa returned to the Championnat National when he signed for Reims ahead of the 2009–10 campaign. He scored on his debut for Reims in the 1–3 defeat away at Hyères on 7 August 2009.

Why this record matters
The phrase “french and Portuguese footballer” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Chronology provides the most reliable spine for this subject; interpretation should follow only after identities and dates are secure. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3266125. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1986, 2006, 2005 and 2007.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
