As of 2005 Ngombo continued to play for the Congolese side Inter Club Brazzaville, was named as being born on the 18th of July 1984, in the 2005 FIBA Africa Clubs Champions Cup. The following year Ngombo was listed as having been birthed in the year 1989 by FIBA Asia in the 2010 FIBA Asia Champions Cup, the 2010 FIBA Asia Stankovic Cup and the 2010 Asian Games. In 2011 FIBA released a piece of contradictions in the information, listing Ngombo’s birth year as 1984 as the year he was born on the Qatar roster for the 2011 FIBA Asia Championship.
