Harare, Zimbabwe – Zimbabwean football icon Khama Billiat has officially signed with Scottland FC, the newly promoted team in Zimbabwe’s Castle Lager Premier Soccer League (PSL). The announcement, made on Thursday via the club’s social media channels, comes as Billiat’s contract with Yadah Stars ended on December 31, 2024.
This move marks another milestone in the 34-year-old winger’s illustrious career, as he embarks on his second consecutive season in Zimbabwe’s top-flight league after a decade of success in South Africa with clubs like Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns.
Stellar Performance at Yadah Stars
Billiat’s return to Zimbabwe last season was nothing short of spectacular. Representing Yadah Stars, he emerged as one of the PSL’s top performers in 2024. His contributions were pivotal, with 13 goals and 11 assists, earning him a second-place finish on the league’s top-scorer chart behind Highlanders’ Lynoth Chikuhwa.
These impressive stats secured Billiat a nomination for the prestigious Soccer Star of the Year award, cementing his reputation as a game-changer in the league.
A Power Move by Scottland FC
Scottland FC, owned by Pedzisayi ‘Scott’ Sakupwanya, a businessman and Member of Parliament, has been making waves in the transfer market ahead of their inaugural PSL season. Alongside Billiat, the club has signed 2024 Soccer Star of the Year Walter Musona, signaling their ambition to compete at the highest level of Zimbabwean football.
Based in Mabvuku, Scottland FC’s promotion to the PSL has already generated excitement among local fans. The acquisition of Billiat not only brings experience and star power but also elevates the club’s status as a serious contender in the league.
“We are delighted to welcome Khama Billiat to Scottland FC,” the club said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter). “His experience and proven track record will be invaluable as we embark on this exciting journey in the PSL.”
What Billiat Brings to Scottland FC

His move to Scottland FC also highlights the growing competitiveness of Zimbabwe’s PSL, as more high-profile players opt to continue their careers in the local league.
