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.

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]

International career

In late 2019, while a Norwegian citizen, Bizoza was called up to the Burundi national football team, [8] but remained uncapped.
