About
The man behind the gloves
Born and raised in Rwanda, Olivier Kwizera discovered football on the dusty pitches of Kigali. What began as a childhood passion grew into a calling - and a career that has taken him across three continents.
From his early breakthrough at Isonga FC to championship runs with APR FC, professional chapters in South Africa and Saudi Arabia, and his return home to wear the Rayon Sports jersey - Olivier's journey is one of relentless work, quiet leadership, and unshakeable belief.
Representing the Amavubi remains his greatest honor: every cap a chance to inspire the next generation of Rwandan keepers.
