Mathias Fassou Pogba (born 19 August 1990) is a Guinean former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Having started his career as a youth at Celta Vigo, Pogba played briefly for Quimper in France before following his brother Paul to the United Kingdom, where he played for Wrexham and Crewe Alexandra. After four years in the English leagues, he moved to Italian Serie B side Pescara in 2014, but returned to England with Crawley Town only a few months later. After short spells at Scotland's Partick Thistle and in the Netherlands at Sparta Rotterdam, he joined Tours in September 2018. During the 2019–20 season, he played in Spain for both Manchego and Lorca. Pogba has also played five times for the Guinea national team since his debut in 2013.

In December 2024, Pogba was sentenced to three years in prison, with two years suspended, for attempted extortion of €13 million ($13.5 million) from his brother Paul Pogba.[3]
