Bekamenga previously played for Negeri Sembilan FA of Malaysia.^[1] and Persib Bandung of Indonesia.^[2] He scored 17 goals in 19 appearances.^[3]

During the summer 2015 transfer window Bekamenga moved to Troyes AC, however within a month the striker was reported to have moved again, to Turkish side Kardemir Karabükspor.^[4]

On the last day of the January transfer market, Bekamenga was one of 22 players on two hours, that signed for Turkish club Elazığspor.^[5] had been placed under a transfer embargo but managed to negotiate it with the Turkish FA, leading to them going on a mad spree of signing and registering a load of players despite not even having a permanent manager in place. In just two hours, they managed to snap up a record 22 players - 12 coming in on permanent contracts and a further 10 joining on loan deals until the end of the season.

On 24 January 2020, Bekamenga was registered for Turkish-Cypriot club Gençlik Gücü in Nicosia, Cyprus.^[6] However, he only played one game for the club on 25 January 2020, before his registration was cancelled again.
