Club career

Bizoza was born in a refugee camp, and came to Norway at the age of 4. [1] [2]

Growing up in Skodje, he started playing for IL Ravn as a child. He was a junior player for Aalesunds FK from 2015 to 2017, leaving to pursue a senior career in local SK Herd. He was picked up by newly promoted second-tier club Raufoss IL in 2019, [3] and after impressing there he was deemed good enough for Aalesund. [4] He made his debut for Aalesund in July 2020 against Mjøndalen. [3]

On 19 February 2021, he signed a 3.5-year contract with Russian Premier League club FC Ufa. [5] He made his league debut for FC Ufa on 7 March 2021 in the away game against FC Ural Yekaterinburg, where he was sent-off just 14 minutes after start.

On 28 August 2021, Ufa announced his transfer to Vendsyssel FF in Denmark. [6] On transfer deadline day, 31 January 2023, Bizoza joined Danish Superliga club Lyngby Boldklub on a deal until June 2025. [7] On 14 June 2024, Bizoza signed a contract until the end of 2027 with Norwegian Eliteserien club FK Haugesund. [8]

International career

In late 2019, while a Norwegian citizen, Bizoza was called up to the Burundi national football team, [9] but remained uncapped.
