Kings Kangwa Ends Brilliant Season with State Cup Victory
Zambian midfielder Kings Kangwa capped off a spectacular 2024/25 season by lifting the Israeli State Cup with Hapoel Be’er Sheva, following a dominant 2-0 win over Beitar Jerusalem in the final. The victory ensured silverware for a side that finished second in the Israeli Premier League.
Be’er Sheva Seal State Cup Triumph
Hapoel Be’er Sheva produced a clinical display in the State Cup final, with goals from Dan Bitton and Zahi Ahmed securing the win over Beitar Jerusalem. The result handed Be’er Sheva their first major trophy of the season after missing out on the league title.
Though the league campaign ended in near-miss fashion, finishing second ensured a place in next season’s UEFA Europa League, giving fans and players a reason to look ahead with optimism.
Kangwa’s Record-Breaking Contributions
Kings Kangwa was one of Be’er Sheva’s standout performers this season, racking up 23 goal contributions across all competitions—15 goals and 8 assists. His consistent performances in midfield played a pivotal role in the club’s cup run and top-two league finish.
The 24-year-old’s impact did not go unnoticed, as he was named in the Israeli Premier League Team of the Year, and crowned Best Foreign Player in the league.

Recognition at the Highest Level
Kangwa’s remarkable campaign has not only solidified his status in Israel but has also elevated his reputation across Europe. The former Arsenal Tula man’s dynamism, eye for goal, and leadership have earned him accolades and placed him among Zambia’s top exports this season.
His success adds to a growing list of Zambian players making waves abroad, reinforcing Zambia’s growing influence on the international stage.
Conclusion
With a State Cup medal, Team of the Year honors, and the Best Foreign Player award, Kings Kangwa’s 2024/25 season stands as one of the best individual campaigns by a Zambian player in recent years. As he prepares for UEFA Europa League action with Be’er Sheva next season, all eyes will be on Kangwa to continue this upward trajectory.
