Hamad Ndikumana (born October 5, 1978 in Kigali, Republic of Rwanda) also known as Kataut by the Rwandan fans, is a Rwandan football defender who recently relesead from APOP Kinyras Peyias FC in Cyprus. His main attribute is his excellent tackling.

Career

He played also for Anorthosis, KV Mechelen, APOP Kinyras Peyias, Nea Salamina and KAA Gent. After several rows with Temuri Ketsbaia broke his contract with Anorthosis and signed for AC Omonia. On July 18 he signed a contract with AEL Limassol.

International career

He helped Rwanda reach the African Cup of Nations 2004 for the first time in its history and is believed to be Rwanda's best player at the tournament. Since Rwanda's 1-0 home loss to Angola in the world cup 2006 qualifications, he has never been called back to the Rwandan squad for allegedly helping Angola win this crucial match, which consequently led to Angola's first appearance at the World Cup Finals in 2006.
