Mavis Tchibota Dufounou (Hebrew: מאויס צ'יבוטה דפונו;[4] born 7 May 1996) is a Congolese footballer who plays as a Striker for Israeli Premier League club Hapoel Tel Aviv and the Congo national football team.[2]

Club career

Tchibota began his career in his native Congolese league playing for Diables Noirs, before officially joining the system of Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2015.[2][5] He spent the majority of his time out on loan with fellow Israeli Premier League side Hapoel Kfar Saba, joining in July 2015.[6] He scored his opening senior goal in his second match, notching a seventy second-minute winner over Maccabi Haifa.[2] Tchibota stayed for the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons, netting ten times in sixty-nine fixtures in all competitions for Hapoel Kfar Saba.[2] Bnei Yehuda signed Tchibota on loan on 4 July 2017.[2] Twelve months later, he was signed permanently via a swap for Maor Kandil.[7]

On 19 February 2019, Bulgarian First League club Ludogorets Razgrad announced Tchibota had penned a pre-contract agreement with the club; effective from the succeeding June.[8][9] He scored on his competitive debut for them, netting in their 2–0 Bulgarian Supercup victory over Lokomotiv Plovdiv on 3 July.[2] After a further goal in UEFA Europa League qualifying against The New Saints, Tchibota scored his first league goal on 22 September versus Arda Kardzhali.[2] He netted a hat-trick on 25 September in the Bulgarian Cup versus second tier team Neftochimic.[2] In February 2022 Tchibota returned to Israel, joining Maccabi Haifa.[10]

International career

Tchibota was selected in the Congo under-17 squad for the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico.[2] He won four caps as his nation advanced from Group A, prior to losing in the following round to Uruguay.[2] He received a stadium ovation from fans in Congo's tournament opener against the Netherlands.[11] He represented the Congo under-20s in 2014.[12][13] In September 2017, Tchibota was called up to the senior team for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Ghana.[2] He won his debut cap on 5 September as Congo lost 1–5 in Brazzaville.[2] His second cap came in October 2020 in a friendly against Gambia.[1]

Personal life

Tchibota was born in Pointe-Noire, Republic of the Congo.[1] He is the son of former Congo international footballer Pierre Tchibota.[11] He arrived in Israel at the age of fifteen with his mother, though further difficulties delayed their entry to the local youth club of Maccabi Tel Aviv.[6][14] In 2016, Tchibota applied for Israeli citizenship by marriage. In September 2017, he made his competitive debut for Congo.[6][14] In January 2018, Tchibota received his temporary residence identity card.[14] In May 2016, he married his Israeli partner Karolina in Cyprus. They have one daughter together named Adelle.[14] That same month, he became an Israeli citizen.[14]
