The RSCA Futures played a match this Wednesday against Francs Borain at the Neerpede training ground. The last for Alonzo Engwanda in the Mauves jersey.
Assured of their continuation in the Challenger Pro League next season, the Anderlecht U23s (RSCA Futures) won a friendly match this Wednesday against the Francs Borains with a score of 4-1.
For the captain of the RSCA Futures Alonzo Engwanda (21 years old), it was a farewell match. He actually played his last minutes in the purple and white jacket.
Anderlecht announced last February that Engwanda would join the Eredivisie and club Utrecht. “After 14 great years at the club, Alonzo opted for a new challenge. RSC Anderlecht and FC Utrecht have reached an agreement on a transfer at the end of the season,” explained the press release published at the time.
The club wanted to pay him a final tribute on X (formerly Twitter). “It is with pride that Alonzo wore the captain’s armband of his team, the RSCA Futures, this season. His mission was clear. To be a reference for the new generation of Neerpede and to guide his younger brother Nuncio in his first steps in professional football.”
“A new chapter now opens for Alonzo in the Eredivisie. And all Neerpede wishes him the best.” This season, Engwanda has played 20 matches in the RSCA Futures jersey.
This one is for Alonzo Engwanda, 16 years old in Neerpede.
