Travis Mutyaba (born 7 August 2005)[1] is a Ugandan professional footballer who plays for Egyptian Premier League club Al Zamalek and the Uganda national team.
In August 2021 Mutyaba signed a three-year contract with Uganda Premier League club SC Villa.[2] Prior to signing for Villa, he played for the junior team of Vipers SC and Synergy FC of the Futsal Super League,[3] in which he was one of the league's top scorers.[4] By December 2021, he had reportedly drawn interest from clubs in Italy and France.[5]
In 2019 Mutyaba was part of the Uganda under-15 team that won the 2019 CECAFA U-15 Championship in Eritrea. In the team's second match of the group stage, he scored his team's only two goals in a victory over Tanzania.[6] He scored again in a 4–0 victory over Kenya in the final to help clinch the title.[7] The following year he was named the Most Valuable Player as Uganda won the 2020 CECAFA U-17 Championship held in Rwanda.[2]
Mutyaba was called up to the senior national team for a friendly against Tanzania at age 16.[8] He went on to make his senior debut in the eventual 2–0 victory.[9] In January 2022 he was called up again for five friendlies with national sides from Europe and Asia as the Cranes traveled to Turkey, Iraq, and Bahrain.[10]
