Allevinah developed through local club Entente Boé-Bon-Encontre, playing mostly there until the age of 19, besides a brief spell in the youth ranks atStade Montois.[2] It was with this club that he made his senior debut in the eighth tier of French football, the Division d'Honneur Régionale, also playing for them in the ninth tier, the Promotion Honneur, before joining sixth tier sideSU Agen in December 2014.[3] His performances there drew the attention ofCFA 2 (fourth tier) sideMarmande, who he joined in June 2015.[4] Good performances there drew attention from professional clubsDijon andBordeaux, who gave him a trial,[5][6] though neither side ended up offering Allevniah a contract.[7]
At the end of the 2015–16 season, he signed a contract with newly relegated CFA 2 sideBayonne.[8] Following a strong season in the league,Ligue 2 sideNîmes Olympique offered him a trial,[9] but he didn't end up signing with the club,[7] instead remaining with Bayonne for another season, at the conclusion of which he moved to fellow CFA 2 sideLe Puy, signing a two-year contract.[10] Allevinah helped Le Puy gain promotion to theChampionnat National,[11] and his success with the side prompted Ligue 2 sideClermont Foot to sign him on a three-year contract for a fee of around €25,000.[12][13]
Allevinah made his professional debut with Clermont Foot on the first match day of the 2019–20 season, in a match againstChâteauroux, coming on as a substitute forJason Berthomier in the 68th minute and winning a penalty, which was then converted byAdrian Grbic to complete a 3–0 victory for Clermont Foot.[14]
On 27 May 2024, it was announced that Allevinah had signed a three-year contract with newly promotedLigue 1 clubAngers.[15]
Born in France, Allevinah elected to representGabon at the senior international level. He made his international debut on 23 March 2019 againstBurundi, starting and playing the full 90 minutes of the 1–1 draw, which eliminated Gabon fromAfrica Cup of Nations qualification.[16][17]
On 5 September 2021, he scored his first goal in a 1–1 draw againstEgypt in aFIFA World Cup qualifier.[18][19] Two months later, he scored against Egypt again in the reverse fixture, which Egypt won 2–1.[20]
Allevinah was selected for Gabon's2021 Africa Cup of Nations squad.[21] He played in all three of Gabon'sgroup stage matches, scoring a late equalizer againstGhana[22] and the opening goal of the draw againstMorocco to help Gabon advance to the knockout stage,[23] being eliminated via penalty shootout in the quarter finals byBurkina Faso.
