Moses Chunga Honoured By Former Belgian Club

Former Dynamos and Warriors player, Moses “Bambo” Chunga has been honoured by former Belgian club Eendracht Aalst.

Chunga, who played for the club for 5 years and was at one point made captain, has been named in the Team of the Century. In an invitation letter seen by The Herald, the club wrote:

Your former football club, Eendracht Aalst, is celebrating its 100th birthday next month.

… You have been nominated for our ‘Team of the Century’, which, I am confident, you will consider as a great honour.

In accepting the honour bestowed upon him, Chunga said:

It’s amazing that the story never ends and that’s what happens when you have a truly professional set-up because history will always be considered very important at such institutions because it helped shape what they are today.

Bambo became the first in-field Zimbabwean footballer, after Independence, to move to a European club.

This was during a time when it was difficult for African players to find clubs in Europe.
