He is talented. He is visionary. He is quick-thinking. He is stylish in dribbling and ball passing. He is a team player and a bold leader.
This is the vivid frame of left-footed midfielder Shugai Kaliisa, now based in the United States of America (USA).
Kaliisa commands play every time he is in action, dictating the tempo of the game with his magical left foot, sweet passes, fancy dribbles and deft defence splitters.
This November, Kaliisa will celebrate his 22nd birthday as he aspires to bigger life prospects in his career.
He has already played for the Uganda U-15 and U-17 national teams with a dream to play for the U-23 Uganda Kobs) and to elevate to the senior national team, Uganda Cranes.
Kaliisa is currently engaged at Reading United (Lindsey Wilson University). Previously, he was at the Philadelphia-based La Salle University; he featured for Oregon State University and Columbus United.
In Uganda, he commenced his career at Express Junior Team, where he was captain before being promoted to the Red Eagles senior team.
He is famous for that all-conquering team at St Andrew’s Kaggwa Gombe High that played in the final of the USSSA football championship, falling to St Mary’s Kitende in the final.
Kaliisa also featured for Kyaddondo Ssaza and Mawokota Ssaza in the Buganda Masaza Cup tournament.
With his contract at La Salle Explorers nearing a climax, he is eyeing better opportunities in the midst to write a bold statement, one of intent and character.
“I am always willing to deliver 110 per cent given any opportunity at hand. This is my calling in life,” Kaliisa, the midfield maestro, vows.
It could be one of a chapter continuation in the United States of America (USA) or from where it all kicked off; in Uganda. Time is the best storyteller.
