societies

Kioyo began playing football in his home country at Union Douala , but the striker spent much of his career with German clubs. Although he was never a goalscorer in his first year, there were always clubs that were interested in him. When 1. FC Köln were promoted to the 1. Bundesliga in 2003 , they really wanted to keep Kioyo. However, he had signed with TSV 1860 Munich long before that. In Munich he never made a breakthrough and were after the Munich 2004 due, descended through the faded from him foul penalty from the 1. Bundesliga, put it no more value to its services. After a year at Rot-Weiss Essen , which ended with relegation to the regional league , he moved to Energie Cottbus . In the 2005/06 season he scored eight goals for Cottbus as an actually "written off" player and thus contributed significantly to the club's rise. In January 2008 he moved to the Israeli first division club Maccabi Netanja . Despite a successful sporting time in Netanya , his family had great adjustment problems in Israel. In an interview, Kioyo describes his time there as a "big mistake".

On September 1, 2008, Kioyo moved to FC Augsburg , where he only played one season. With the Augsburg team, he completed 18 missions, but was never used the full distance.

Then Kioyo moved to the Swiss club FC Aarau . There he received a three-year contract. He performed well in his first game against FC Basel, but was seriously injured two days later. After his injury he did not find his way back into the game and played most of the time for the amateur team of FC Aarau. The contract was terminated by Kioyo in April 2010, although he had not been in the squad since the end of December 2009.

Since then, Kioyo has been without a club and took part in the VDV camp. After the camp was over, he still hadn't found a new club. To keep himself fit, he trained with the Brandenburg upper division Germania Schöneiche . In the second half of the 2010/11 season he ran for third division club SV Wehen Wiesbaden , where he had a record of three goals in eleven missions. In September 2011, SpVgg Bayreuth , playing in the Bavarian regional league , introduced Kioyo as a new addition. With 18 goals in 18 games, he helped the club to rise to the Bayern League. After successfully staying in the Bayern League 2012/13 , he left Bayreuth and moved to FC Amberg in the summer of 2013 . At the end of 2013, Kioyo left the club for professional reasons.

National team

Kioyo has had German citizenship since November 2007 . At the same time he lost his Cameroonian citizenship. He completed three full international matches for Cameroon . After losing his Cameroonian citizenship, he is no longer eligible to play for international matches. Since Kioyo was active in German professional football for several years, his colleagues in the Cameroon national team often called him "Holzmann", referring to the "German oak". They were convinced that Kioyo had lost its lightness due to the tough pace in Germany.
