Islambek Kuat (Kazakh: Исламбек Ержанұлы Қуат; born 12 January 1993) is a Kazakh footballer who plays for Kairat and the Kazakhstan national team. Kuat scored his first goal for Kazakhstan on 10 October 2015 in a 2–1 defeat against the Netherlands in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifier.[1]

He became very well known in Turkey, thanks to his goal against Latvia, which enabled the Turkish team to qualify direct as the best third-placed side in the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying. It was even suggested that a street in Istanbul be named in honour of Kuat, while more than one fan on social media promised to name their children in honour of the midfielder. A dozen Turkish fans presented him with gifts and a bouquet of flowers, and thanked him personally at half-time during Kairat's game against Atyrau on 17 October.[2]
