Yves Stéphane Bitséki Moto (born 23 April 1983)[2] is a Gabonese footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Masters Football Malta.

International career

Moto was first called up to represent Gabon during the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations but he did not make his debut until the 0–0 friendly draw against Burkina Faso on 9 January 2012 as he was often second-choice behind Didier Ovono.[3] He was then called up to represent Gabon at the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations but again he did not play.[4] He did however play at the 2013 CEMAC Cup, which he won with Gabon,[5] and the 2014 African Nations Championship.

He scored his only goal for Gabon on 8 September 2015 during the 1–1 draw against Zambia,[6] and he continued to represent Gabon until after the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.[1] He was last called up to the squad for the pair of 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Gambia in November 2020.
