Career

On 1 February 2023, Tumisang Orebonye joined USM Alger for a two-and-a-half-year, coming from the Moroccan club OC Khouribga.[1] It is Usmiste coach Abdelhak Benchikha who is behind his recruitment, who had a good idea of his profile when he was coaching RS Berkane at the start of the season.[1] USMA supporters wonder how the club's management hired a suspended player, Orebonye did not participate with the team in the Ligue 1 until February due to a previous penalty, as he was suspended for 6 months by the Disciplinary Committee of the Royal Moroccan Football Federation.[2] Orebonye made his debut for USM Alger in the CAF Confederation Cup during a win against Saint-Éloi Lupopo, a week later in the same competition against Al Akhdar, Orebonye scored his first goal in the match, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[3]

On 3 June 2023, Orebonye won the first title with his team by winning the CAF Confederation Cup, where he became the first Botswana player to win a continental title.[4][5]
