Early life

edit

Mosibe was born in Ruiche, a neighbourhood located in Luba, Bioko Sur to a Bubi family. He was just two years when his mother left the country for the Spanish Community of Madrid.[2]

Club career

edit

After playing in the youth teams of Real Madrid (Juvenils C & B)[3] and Real Valladolid (Juvenil A),[4] in 2011, Mosibe went to Italy, where he has disputed friendly matches with Gubbio and Voluntas Spoleto,[5] but, because of problems with the international transfer he could not sign with any team, opting to return to Spain the following year. Back in Spain, he played league matches, both Betis San Isidro[6] and Atlético Ibañés.[7] In 2013, he has signed for Werribee City, becoming the first ever Equatoguinean footballer who plays in an Australian club.[8] In 2017, he joined the Springvale White Eagles.[9]

International career

edit

Mosibe was called for play with the Equatorial Guinea national team a friendly match against Estonia on 6 June 2009.[10] The match marked his international debut and saw him come on before the start of the second half.[11]
