Fatshimetrie: Oscar Kabwit, the young prodigy on the path to consecration
The news was born in the corridors of FECOFA, like a symphony of hope and renewal for the Leopards. Indeed, Oscar Kabwit, the talented winger of TP Mazembe, was called up as reinforcement for the November training camp to replace Gaël Kakuta, affected by the vicissitudes of an injury that kept him away from the field. This call-up marks a turning point in Kabwit’s young career, who thus sees the doors of the Congolese national selection open before him for the first time.
At only 19 years old, Kabwit has already distinguished himself within the TP Mazembe attack, taking over brilliantly after the notable departures of certain emblematic figures. His season is marked by promising statistics, with two assists and a goal in 591 minutes of play. But it was in the double confrontation against Red Arrows in the Champions League that Kabwit really shone, thus confirming his potential and talent.
Coach Sébastien Desabre was quick to stress the importance for local players to put themselves forward to secure their place in the national team. Kabwit, through his rise to power and his performance on the field, answers this call in the most beautiful way. His call-up to the national team is the fruit of his hard work and unwavering commitment.
In this crucial period of the qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations, the Leopards will be able to count on Kabwit’s energy and determination to face formidable opponents. His freshness and liveliness could well bring an extra soul to a team in search of positive results. Sébastien Desabre sees Kabwit as a valuable asset to strengthen the team’s offensive animation and hopes that he will seize his chance and confirm all the good things that are said about him on the pitch.
The road to consecration is still long for Oscar Kabwit, but his call-up to the national team represents a crucial step in his young career. It is an honor and a responsibility that the young winger will assume with pride and determination. Eyes will be on him during the next Leopards training camp, waiting to see a promising talent blossom towards even greater horizons. Oscar Kabwit, a name that will undoubtedly resonate in the world of Congolese football and beyond.
