International career
editPambani capped for the DR Congo at senior level during the 2012 African Women's Championship.[6]
Controversy
editPlaying in Turkey, Pambani claimed to have been born on 2 August 1996,[3] despite previous official registry from CAF indicating she was born on 2 August 1994.[2] In December 2023, during the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations qualification, she used the 1996 document to play against Equatorial Guinea, which had hosted the 2012 African Women's Championship, where she had used the 1994 document. After the conclusion of the round and the in-field DR Congo qualification, Pambani's irregular fielding was claimed by the Equatoguinean Football Federation, expecting CAF disqualifies DR Congo and reinstates Equatorial Guinea as a result.[7]
