William Likuta Luezi (born 23 August 1997) is a Congolese soccer player who last played as a winger for Stellenbosch in the Premier Soccer League.
Likuta grew up in the AC Ujana academy and their senior team. In 2019 he joined bigger Congolese team DC Motema Pembe, and had made his breakthrough by September 2019.[1] He was regarded as performing well on the continental club level too.[2] Likuta participated in three CAF Confederation Cups with Motema Pembe.[3] He also made his debut for DR Congo, being selected for the 2020 African Nations Championship and playing against Libya.[4]
In July 2022 he was signed by Stellenbosch in the South African Premier League.[5] He was sparingly used by Stellenbosch, however, and was released from the club in January 2023. For the time being, Likuta would stay in South Africa to opt for another club there.[6][7]
