National team career

As a player for the Burundian record champions Vital'O FC, the then 22-year-old Tambwe made it into the Burundian national soccer team . Under the Algerian- born Adel Amrouche , who is also in possession of Belgian nationality, he made his debut on January 5, 2011 in a 3-1 defeat in a friendly international match against Uganda . Here he was used from the start and was replaced by Mirag Abdoul Razak from the 81st minute of the game . In his second international match, a 1-1 draw against Tanzania three days later , in which he was used again from the start, he scored the 1-0 opening goal in the 50th minute of the game and was again through in the 84th minute Mirag Abdoul Razak replaced. Another three days later, he completed his third international match in the friendly against Egypt and played the full game in the 3-1 defeat.

Thereupon he was not involved in another international match for about two years before he took part in the CECAFA Cup 2012 in Uganda between late November and early December 2012 . He was now coach Lofty Naseem , an Egyptian, in a group game against Tanzania and then in the quarter-final against Zanzibar . In neither of the two games did Tambwe play the full length of the game. In the quarter-finals, Burundi was defeated by the Zanzibar team on penalties and was eliminated from the current tournament. Lofty Naseem then used the striker, after he was not used in the first leg, on January 6, 2013 in the second leg of the preliminary round of the qualifying for the African Nations Cup 2014 against the Kenyans who were favored in advance . After Kenya had been defeated, Sudan, coached by Mohamed Abdallah , waited for Burundi about six months later in the first qualifying round for the African Nations Cup 2014 . In the two international matches that took place in July 2013, the then 24-year-old center forward was finally used and scored the 1-0 opening goal in the first leg to later make it 1-1. Subsequently, the team only managed to qualify for the finals in South Africa in early 2014 on penalties in the second leg . However, Tambwe was not used on this.

After another international match in a friendly game against Rwanda on March 5, 2014, he came on April 26, 2014 in another friendly game against Tanzania under the new coach Rainer Willfeld , who had been in the country since February 2013 and both players and players Trainer trained, for use. Under the German , Tambwe then came to a number of international appearances in 2014. In June 2014 he was used in the two second-round qualifiers for the 2015 African Cup of Nations against Botswana , when he lost his home country with a total score of 0: 1 and thus did not qualify for the finals in Equatorial Guinea . This was followed by another deployment in a friendly international match against Kenya in July this year; In the friendly against Tanzania in September, he was only unused on the bench.

After there was another coaching change at Burundi in February 2015 and the Algerian Ahcene Aït-Abdelmalek took over, it took until June 2015 before Tambwe was used again in a country match. Aït-Abdelmalek used him on June 13, 2015, in the first group match of the qualification for the 2017 African Cup of Nations over the full playing time, with Tambwe doing the preparatory work for Fiston Abdul Razak's 1-1 equalizer in minute 59 ; the game ended in a 3-1 defeat. On October 13, 2015, he was used in the 2-0 win in the second leg of the first round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup against the Seychelles , but replaced by Abbas Nshimirimana from the 65th minute . About a month later, he was sent to the field by the Algerian in the 2-2 draw in the second leg of the second round of qualifying for the 2018 World Cup against the Democratic Republic of the Congo , this time as a replacement for debutant Gaël Bigirimana from the 62nd minute of the game . Since the DR Congo had already won the first leg 3-2, they rose to the next higher game round and Burundi was eliminated from the current qualification. Tambwe's subsequent missions took place at the end of November 2015 in the CECAFA Cup 2015 ; here he was used in two of the three group games in his home country. He succeeded in the second group game against Kenya, a 1-1 draw, in the 11th minute of the game, the goal for an early 1-0 lead. At the end of the group stage, Burundi took third place and was last in the ranking of the three group thirds, making it the only third-placed team not to make it into the subsequent quarter-finals.

On March 26, 2016, the striker took part in the third group match of qualifying for the 2017 African Cup of Nations against Namibia , with Burundi losing 3-1. After Burundi turned the result around in the second leg against Namibia three days later and won 3-1, Amissi Tambwe was not used. In the subsequent group match in the qualifying for the 2017 African Cup of Nations , he was already under the new coach Olivier Niyungeko , who had previously acted as assistant to Ahcene Aït-Abdelmalek, who was sacked by the Burundian Football Association . His brief assignment against Senegal was also his last official international match to date (as of September 12, 2017).
