Nestory "Nestor" Irankunda (born 9 February 2006) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Regionalliga Bayern club Bayern Munich II and the Australia national team.
Born in Kigoma, Tanzania, Irankunda played youth football in Adelaide 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. In March 2024, he scored his first hat-trick, becoming the second youngest to do so in Australia men's history. Irankunda joined Bayern Munich in June 2024 for an undisclosed fee, presumably, breaking the A-League transfer record.
Irankunda chose to represent Australia, whilst also being eligible for Tanzania or Burundi. At youth level, he helped lead the Australia U17 squad to qualification for the AFC U-17 Asian Cup. After his first call-up for the seniors in March 2023 and debut in June 2024, Irankunda became the second youngest Australian to score for his nation in a FIFA World Cup qualification (2026) match.
