Olivier Kwizera (born 30 July 1995 in Kigali, Rwanda) is a Rwandan professional footballer who plays as goalkeeper for Free State Stars F.C. in South Africa.
Career
South Africa
Back in 2016, Kwizera was ascertained to sign for Maritzburg United of the South African Premier Division[1] after being let go by APR FC[2] but the deal never eventuated.
Impressing in a trial for Free State Stars,[3][4] the Kitale native was officialy signed by the club in summer 2017 after getting his FIFA players intermediaries license, effectively becoming the first Rwandan goalkeeper to have played in South Africa.[5]
International
The goalkeeper was unavailable for the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations second leg qualifier opposing Uganda on account of a wound on his right ankle.[6]
