**Johann Serge Obiang**[2] (born 5 July 1993) is a professional [footballer](/source/Association_football) who plays as a [left-back](/source/Left-back) for [Ligue 3](/source/Ligue_3) club [Orléans](/source/US_Orl%C3%A9ans). He previously played for [Troyes](/source/Troyes_AC), [Châteauroux](/source/LB_Ch%C3%A2teauroux), [Caen](/source/Stade_Malherbe_Caen) and [Pau](/source/Pau_FC).[3] Born in France, he represents [Gabon](/source/Gabon_national_football_team) at international level.

## Club career

### Châteauroux

Born in [Le Blanc](/source/Le_Blanc), of which his mother is a native, Johann Obiang possesses [Gabonese](/source/Gabon) nationality by his father, Serge. He started football in Ciron, where his father was then a leader. As a chick, Johann arrived at [LB Châteauroux](/source/LB_Ch%C3%A2teauroux) and then joined the Châteauroux Hope Pole at the age of 12. Johann rose to the ranks and signed his first professional contract in June 2013.[4] Capable of developing all over the left flank, commits until 2016.[5]

Obiang knows his first real season with professionals in the 2013-2014 exercise. With 33 games and his two goals scored, his season is considered correct.[6] He is followed by a second season (27 league appearances) where he is regularly called up with his national selection. The club situation is more complicated, with the Berrichonne being relegated to National. He made his third full season there (27 appearances, again, in the championship, for 3 goals) before joining the [ES Troyes AC](/source/ES_Troyes_AC) free and returning to [Ligue 2](/source/Ligue_2).

### Troyes

On 9 June 2016, he initialled a two-year contract for [ES Troyes AC](/source/ES_Troyes_AC).[7]

He made his debut for Troyes on July 29, 2016, wearing the Trojan jersey in a match against Sochaux at the Stade de l'Aube. During his first season with Troyes, Obiang appeared in 26 matches across all competitions. The 2016–2017 campaign proved memorable, as he celebrated promotion to Ligue 1 following a dramatic two-legged playoff against FC Lorient, who had finished 18th in the top flight.

On 5 August 2017, he contested his first League 1 match against [Stade Rennais FC](/source/Stade_Rennais_FC) in the first day of the championship. Nevertheless, blocked by his competitor [Charles Traoré](/source/Charles_Traor%C3%A9), he will play only 8 games in this season, which will see his club relegated to Ligue 2.

In the 2018-2019 season, he will make 25 appearances in Ligue 2 under the Troyes jersey. The club will finish third in the championship but will fail in its quest for a climb following a defeat in the roadblocks against [RC Lens](/source/RC_Lens). At the end of the season, Obiang will not be extended by the wooden club and will find himself free to engage wherever he wants.

### Caen

On 28 June 2022, the [Stade Malherbe Caen](/source/Stade_Malherbe_Caen) announced Johann's signature to fill a potential start from the incumbent left side,[8] [Ali Abdi](/source/Ali_Abdi_(footballer)), who was elected to the previous season's team in Ligue 2 and announced to leave for Ligue 1. He's signing a two-year contract.

Finally, Abdi stays at the club and Johann becomes his understudy. At the beginning of the season, he grapples playing time by working at the right side post.

He delivered his first decisive pass for [Alexandre Mendy](/source/Alexandre_Mendy_(footballer%2C_born_1994)) in Caen's victory against [Amiens](/source/Amiens_SC) (3-1), on 10 September 2022.

## International career

Obiang was born in France, to a Gabonese father and French mother. Also eligible for both the French and Gabonese national teams, he received his first called up to the [Gabon national team](/source/Gabon_national_football_team) in February 2014.[9] Obiang was featured for [Gabon national team](/source/Gabon_national_football_team) in the [2021 AFCON](/source/2021_Africa_Cup_of_Nations) tournament in [Cameroon](/source/Cameroon).[10]
