About



Muteba Kidiaba's Dance is a signature goal celebration associated with Congolese football player Robert Muteba Kidiab who currently plays goalkeeper for the Congolese club TP Mazembe. On December 14th, 2010, Kidiab's butt-bouncing repertoire brought him and his club team much international attention during the semi-final match of FIFA Club World Cup against the Brazilian team Sport Club Internacional.

The footage was subsequently uploaded onto YouTube and even spawned single topic blogs like Kidiaba tumblr and Kidiaba Facts, where it spun off into a series of image exploitables featuring still-shots of Kidiab performing his goal celebration and his "O-face" expression.
