Oscar Kabwit (born 5 May 2005) is a Congolese professional footballer who plays as a winger for TP Mazembe and the DR Congo youth national teams.[1]
Club career
Born in Lubumbashi, Kabwit developed at the Katumbi Football Academy and moved to CS Don Bosco before joining TP Mazembe in 2023.[2][3]
He drew wider attention during the 2023–24 CAF Champions League quarter-final first leg on 6 April 2024 in Luanda, when Mazembe beat Petro de Luanda 2–1; Kabwit’s direct dribbling on the left wing was highlighted by club and local media coverage of the tie.[4][5]
International career
Kabwit was called up to DR Congo youth squads in 2024 and was listed for two U20 friendlies against Morocco in May 2024. In November 2024, national-team coach Sébastien Desabre included Kabwit in a senior squad for international fixtures, a move widely viewed as a message of confidence in domestic-league talent.[3]
Style of play
Primarily a left-sided winger who can operate across the front line, Kabwit is noted for ball-carrying, acceleration and one-v-one dribbling.[3][5]
