Club career

Early career M'Changama was born in the city of Marseille to Comorian parents and developed an interest in football at a young age alongside his younger brother Youssouf. The elder M'Changama struggled to make the grade among clubs situated around the south of France and, ultimately, considered giving the sport up. He made his first start a fortnight later in a 0–0 draw with Istres. M'Changama was praised for his contribution in the match against Istres by Cavalli and, subsequently, began training with the senior team on a regular basis. On 19 October, he scored his first professional goal in a 3–1 loss against Évian.

On 11 November, M'Changama scored the game-winning goal against his brother's club Troyes in a 1–0 victory. The goal was notable due in part to the fact that M'Changama was not scheduled to appear in the match. In the week leading up to the match, he was not named to the 16-man squad to appear in the match and was, subsequently, told that he would play in the reserves for the week. M'Changama appeared on the bench in the match and, later, appeared as a substitute scoring the game-winning goal in the 76th minute.

Later career M'Changama joined Athlético Marseille in January 2019.

International career M'Changama made his debut for the Comoros national team on 9 October 2010 in a match against Mozambique.
