Description

Festy Oseiwe Ebosele (born 2 August 2002) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a right-back or right wing-back for Süper Lig club Erzurumspor, on loan from İstanbul Başakşehir, and the Republic of Ireland national team.

Ebosele was born in the town of Enniscorthy in County Wexford, Ireland to Nigerian parents. His name comes for the Latin word festus, meaning "joyful".

He began playing football for Moyne Rangers in 2010 before joining the academy of League of Ireland side Bray Wanderers when he was 14-years-old. Two years later in 2018, he signed for English Championship side Derby County.

Born in Ireland, Ebosele is of Nigerian descent, so he could choose to represent either of the respective countries at international level. He has represented the Republic of Ireland at U16, U17, U19, U21 and senior levels ever since.

He then received his first call-up to the Republic of Ireland senior national team on 25 May 2022, ahead of their UEFA Nations League games against Armenia, Ukraine and Scotland.

On 7 September 2023, he made his senior debut for Republic of Ireland, replacing Chiedozie Ogbene from the bench in the 84th minute of a 2–0 loss to France at Parc des Princes. He provided a pinpoint cross for Robbie Brady's Nations League 88th-minute winner in Ireland's 2–1 victory over Finland in Helsinki on 10 October 2024.

His sister, Lystus Ebosele, goes by the moniker Cyclone on BBC One light entertainment television show Gladiators.
