Belgian-Congolese midfielder Alonzo Engwanda has been honored with the prestigious David di Tommaso trophy after an outstanding season with the Dutch club.
The verdict came in after the match against Fortuna Sittard. Alonzo Engwanda has been voted FC Utrecht’s best player for the 2025/2026 season. At just 23, the midfielder has established himself as one of the key figures in Ron Jans’ squad, thanks to his consistency and influence in the heart of the pitch all season long.
This accolade, the David di Tommaso trophy, is awarded by the club’s Supporters’ Association. Engwanda collected nearly a third of the votes, underlining his importance in Utrecht’s collective momentum.
A tight race and a prestigious succession
Behind him, Dani de Wit finished second, while Souffian El Karouani completed the podium. The midfielder thus succeeds Greek goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas, last season’s winner.
When receiving his trophy from Teun den Hartog, president of the supporters’ association, Engwanda was praised for his undisputed starting role and his consistent performances.
