The call-up of Inonge Kaloustian to the Zambian women’s national team has stirred up controversy among some of the team’s supporters. Martin Besa, in particular, has voiced his concerns about the decision, questioning the motives behind it.
Besa has raised some pointed questions about the selection of Kaloustian, suggesting that the decision was based on factors other than her soccer skills. He has wondered whether the team is accepting her solely because of her race, or because she comes from the United States. He also questions whether she is truly better than the players already on the Zambian team, and whether her inclusion will help the team win games.
Besa‘s comments reveal a deep-seated skepticism about the value of bringing in new players, especially those from outside the country. He seems to believe that the Zambian team should rely solely on homegrown talent and that new players should only be added if they have proven themselves through hard work and dedication.
But while Besa‘s comments may reflect a certain conservatism, they also touch on some important issues about representation and diversity in sports. It’s worth asking whether the Zambian team is doing enough to ensure that players from all backgrounds have an equal chance to compete and succeed. And it’s worth considering whether players like Kaloustian, who bring a different perspective and skill set, can help the team achieve its goals.

Ultimately, the debate over Kaloustian‘s inclusion in the Zambian team highlights some of the complexities and challenges of building a successful and inclusive sports program. It remains to be seen whether she will prove herself on the field and win over her skeptics, but for now, her call-up has opened up an important conversation about what it takes to build a winning team.
