A [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon international]] in the 2000s, Webó appeared with the country in two [[FIFA World Cup|World Cups]] and as many [[Africa Cup of Nations]].

==Club career==
===Early career===
Born in [[Bafoussam]], [[West Region (Cameroon)|West Region]], Webó started his professional career in Uruguay, playing three years with [[Club Nacional de Football]], winning two [[Uruguayan Primera División|Primera División]] titles – although he only was an important first-team member in his [[2002 Uruguayan Primera División|third season]] – and becoming top scorer of the [[2002 Copa Sudamericana|2002 edition]] of the [[Copa Sudamericana]].<ref name=ESPN>{{cite web|url=https://espndeportes.espn.com/news/story?id=1071229&s=copasud&type=story|title=Goleadores de la Copa Sudamericana|trans-title=South American Cup scorers|publisher=[[ESPN Deportes]]|language=es|date=1 August 2010|access-date=3 August 2011|archive-date=29 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829080030/http://espndeportes.espn.com/news/story?id=1071229&s=copasud&type=story|url-status=live}}</ref>

He moved to Europe in January 2003, signing with [[Segunda División]] club [[CD Leganés]] in the outskirts of [[Madrid]], on loan from [[CA Osasuna]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/2003/01/30/pagina-37/1459911/pdf.html|title=Webó, ilusionado con su nuevo reto|trans-title=Webó, hungry about his new challenge|newspaper=[[Mundo Deportivo]]|first=S.|last=Tamaral|language=es|date=30 January 2003|access-date=15 December 2014|archive-date=27 June 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180627034452/http://hemeroteca.mundodeportivo.com/preview/2003/01/30/pagina-37/1459911/pdf.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Osasuna===
In the summer of 2003, Webó returned to Osasuna, for whom he scored six goals in the [[2005–06 La Liga|2005–06 campaign]],<ref name=Record>{{cite news|url=https://www.noticiasdenavarra.com/osasuna/2010/04/19/webo-igualado-mejor-marca-goles-3495735.amp.html|title=Webó ha igualado su mejor marca de goles en Liga|trans-title=Webó has equalled his best goal record in League|newspaper=Noticias de Navarra|language=es|date=19 April 2010|access-date=18 January 2025}}</ref> being instrumental in the [[Navarre]]se side's fourth [[La Liga]] place and [[2006–07 UEFA Champions League|qualification]] for the [[UEFA Champions League]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://as.com/futbol/2006/05/16/mas_futbol/1147730430_850215.html|title=Extasis de Champions para un Osasuna histórico|trans-title=Champions ecstasy for historic Osasuna|newspaper=[[Diario AS]]|language=es|date=16 May 2006|access-date=18 January 2025|archive-date=16 December 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241216230637/https://as.com/futbol/2006/05/16/mas_futbol/1147730430_850215.html|url-status=live}}</ref> although they would ultimately be ousted by [[Hamburger SV]] prior to the group stage.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cadenaser.com/ser/2006/08/22/deportes/1156202903_850215.html|title=El Hamburgo acaba con el sueño de Osasuna en 'Champions' (1–1)|trans-title=Hamburger end Osasuna's dream in Champions League (1–1)|publisher=[[Cadena SER]]|language=es|date=22 August 2006|access-date=18 January 2025}}</ref>

Webó's [[2006–07 La Liga|2006–07]] pre-season was hampered after he was forced to undergo treatment for [[malaria]],<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/025a-0eaa5181184d-323f56317bbc-1000--fitness-battle-for-osasuna-s-webo/|title=Fitness battle for Osasuna's Webo|publisher=UEFA|date=20 July 2006|access-date=21 April 2010}}</ref> but he went on to produce similar numbers in the league, adding two goals in nine games in the team's [[2006–07 UEFA Cup|semi-final run]] in the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]], including the match's only in a home tie against [[Rangers F.C.|Rangers]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/6444701.stm|title=Osasuna 1–0 Rangers (agg 2–1)|publisher=[[BBC Sport]]|first=Clive|last=Lindsay|date=14 March 2007|access-date=8 February 2013|archive-date=10 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110011123/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/6444701.stm|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Return to Nacional===
In September 2018, the 36-year-old Webó returned to Nacional de Montevideo after 16 years.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45495146|title=Cameroon's Pierre Webo returns to Uruguay after 18 years|publisher=BBC Sport|first=Oluwashina|last=Okeleji|date=12 September 2018|access-date=13 September 2018|archive-date=12 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181012130858/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45495146|url-status=live}}</ref> After only 59 minutes of play across two league appearances,<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.pressreader.com/uruguay/el-observador/20190102/page/20/textview|title=Con el bisturí a fondo|trans-title=To the hilt|newspaper=El Observador|language=es|date=2 January 2019|access-date=13 February 2019|archive-date=14 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190214002754/https://www.pressreader.com/uruguay/el-observador/20190102/page/20/textview|url-status=live}}</ref> he left before the start of the [[2019 Uruguayan Primera División season|2019 season]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sport890.com.uy/2019/01/10/pierre-webo-nunca-le-reclamaria-nacional/|title=Pierre Webo: "Nunca le reclamaría a Nacional"|trans-title=Pierre Webo: "I would never ask Nacional for anything"|publisher=Sport 890|language=es|date=10 January 2019|access-date=13 February 2019}}</ref>

After retiring, Webó joined İstanbul Başakşehir's coaching staff under [[Okan Buruk]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50574402|title=Cameroon's Pierre Webo gets coaching role in Turkey|publisher=BBC Sport|first=Oluwashina|last=Okeleji|date=27 November 2019|access-date=27 November 2019|archive-date=27 November 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191127120814/https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50574402|url-status=live}}</ref> In a [[2020–21 UEFA Champions League|Champions League group stage fixture]] against [[Paris Saint-Germain F.C.]] on 8 December 2020, he accused he was the target of racism by Romanian fourth official [[Sebastian Colțescu]]. The latter had allegedly used a term (''negru'', meaning black in Romanian), similar to a taboo racial slur in some western European countries but without the racial connotations, when describing and pointing out Webó to the main referee [[Ovidiu Hațegan]]; the incident, which occurred in the first half, ultimately led to the match being postponed, while [[UEFA]] also opened an investigation on the matter.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/race-and-ethnicity-pierre-webo-sports-europe-ligue-1-soccer-6c9a5105bd2ccee4eee1b620898ef9b1|title=CL game postponed after players walk off over alleged racism|publisher=[[Associated Press]]|first=Jerome|last=Pugmire|date=8 December 2020|access-date=8 December 2020}}</ref>

==International career==
An international since 2003, Webó's first highlight playing for the [[Cameroon national football team|Cameroon national team]] was a [[hat-trick]] in his country's 3–2 win in [[Ivory Coast national football team|Ivory Coast]] in the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (CAF)|qualifiers]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/4205714.stm|title=Cameroon in pole position|publisher=BBC Sport|date=5 September 2005|access-date=14 September 2018}}</ref> but his team would not travel to Germany, precisely at the hands of that opponent.
