Nestory "Nestor" Irankunda (born 9 February 2006) is a professional football player who plays as a winger for A-League club Adelaide United and the Australia national team. He will join German club Bayern Munich in July 2024.
Born in Kigoma, Tanzania, Irankunda played youth football in Adelaide, playing for Adelaide Croatia Raiders before moving to Adelaide United in 2021. He started his professional career when he signed a scholarship contract in September 2021, followed by his league debut in January 2022, becoming the sixth youngest debutant in A-League history at the time. He scored his first league goal the same year, becoming the second youngest goalscorer in the competition. Irankunda was announced to join Bayern Munich in July 2024 for an undisclosed fee, presumably, breaking the A-League transfer record. In March 2024, he scored his first hat-trick, becoming the second youngest to do so in Australia men's history.
Eligible to represent Tanzania, Burundi and Australia, Irankunda has opted to represent Australia. He was first called to the Australia national team in March 2023 and debuted in June 2024. At youth level, he helped lead the Australia U17 squad to qualification for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup, scoring eleven goals in total.
