Awer's footballing passion started as a young boy with his parents in a Kenyan refugee camp. After settling in Australia, Mabil utilised this natural ability, signing for local A-League side Adelaide United, and becoming one of the club's youngest debutants at 17 years and 118 days.

In 2015, Mabil secured a move to Europe, creating a home in Denmark with Danish champions FC Midtjylland.

Mabil came on as a substitute in Australia's 4-0 victory over Kuwait in October 2018, scoring a goal for himself on debut. However, the match was remembered for Mabil and childhood friend Thomas Deng, both refugees from South Sudan, making their international debuts in the same match.
