Patrick Mutesa Mafisango (born March 9, 1980 in Kinshasa in Zaire , today DR Congo , † May 17, 2012 in Dar es Salaam , Tanzania ) was a Rwandan football player .
Athletic career
Mafisango, who was born in Zaire but moved to Rwanda and was naturalized there, played for APR FC from 2006 and made his debut for the Rwandan national team in the same year . With the club he was twice in a row champion of the National Football League and won a first international title with a 2-1 final win over Uganda Revenue Authority SC with the CECAFA Club Cup , then he moved within the Rwandan championship to ATRACO FC . Here, too, he became national champion in his first season, followed by another international title win in 2009 when he won the CECAFA Club Cup again - this time with a 1-0 final victory over Egyptian representative al-Merrikh Khartoum . He then returned to APR FC, with the Rwandan record champions he won the championship and national cup double in 2010 . In the 1-0 win in the final, he scored the decisive goal in stoppage time against Rayon Sports .
In the summer of 2010 Mafisango moved to Tanzania for Azam FC , who had started a transfer offensive and, alongside him, had signed the Tanzanian international Mrisho Ngasa , the Ugandan national player and former top scorer of the Ugandan Super League Peter Ssenyonjo and Kali Ongala from Sweden. After only one season, however, he left the club as third in the table and moved on within Dar es Salaam, where he joined local rivals Simba SC . With his new club, he won the championship in 2012, which means that the team caught up with the record champions Young Africans FC at the time .
In May 2012, at the age of 32, Mafisango was killed in a car accident when he got off the road while overtaking a cyclist. By the time he died, he had played 25 official internationals and scored two goals. He had participated in the CECAFA Cup several times , in the final defeat in the 2007 finals against the Sudanese national team on penalties , as well as in the 2-0 defeat in the final against Uganda two years later.
