Makalu Xowi

Makalu Xowi (born 20 April 1999) is a New Caledonian footballer currently playing for Central Sport and the New Caledonia national team.

From a young age, Xowi played for SC Ne Drehu of the New Caledonia Super Ligue.

[4] He continued his dominant scoring that season back in Tahiti, with performances including five goals in a 7–2 victory over Aito Taurea FC in the 2022 Coupe Élite Tahiti[5] and a brace against A.S. Pueu to earn Temanava its third-straight Ligue 2 victory.

[6] Following two impressive seasons with Temanava, newly appointed New Caledonia manager Johann Sidaner gave Xowi his first senior call-ups for a pair of friendlies against Tahiti in March 2023.

Sidaner stated that he had full confidence in Xowi because of his goal tally in Tahiti and his observations of the player during his time with CO Hmeleck.
