Kalusa Targets Bigger Things After Young Player of the Season Recognition

FC MUZA Midfielder Promises Improved Performances Following Award Success

FC MUZA midfielder Given Kalusa has vowed to raise his game even further after being crowned Young Player of the Season for the 2025/26 campaign.

The talented midfielder enjoyed a breakthrough season that earned him recognition among Zambia’s brightest young footballers, but he believes there is still plenty more to achieve in his career.

Speaking after receiving the award, Kalusa described the achievement as a special moment for both himself and his family.

Award a Proud Moment

Kalusa said winning the accolade was a major source of motivation and a reward for the hard work he has put into his development.

The midfielder admitted that receiving such recognition was an emotional moment, especially knowing the impact it had on his loved ones.

“I am very happy to have won the award. It means a lot to me and my family, and I believe they are proud of what I have achieved,” he said.

Surprise Recognition

Despite his impressive performances throughout the season, Kalusa revealed that he did not expect to walk away with the award.

The FC MUZA star said the quality of players nominated alongside him made the competition extremely tough, which made the victory even more memorable.

“There were many talented players in contention, so I was not expecting to win. I am grateful for the recognition and thankful for the opportunity,” he said.

Focus on Continued Improvement

Rather than becoming satisfied with his success, Kalusa believes the award comes with greater responsibility and a challenge to keep improving.

The midfielder stressed that he intends to work even harder ahead of the new season as he looks to build on his recent performances.

According to Kalusa, consistency will be one of his main objectives moving forward.

Warning to Opponents

The young midfielder has already set his sights on delivering an even stronger campaign next season.

Kalusa believes supporters have not yet seen the best version of him and promised to maintain the level he displayed this season while becoming more consistent throughout the year.

Fans can expect a more mature, confident and influential player as he continues his development in Zambian football.

With the Young Player of the Season award now added to his growing list of achievements, Kalusa will be determined to use the recognition as a stepping stone towards even greater success in the seasons ahead.
