Kaza Matranga is the fifth member of the Matranga Family to represent Starblaydia at international football. She is the daughter of Itechton Matranga, youngest son of the original Aiden Matranga. As Itechton was named after the city where Aiden made his greatest footballing feat, Itechton named his daughter - she was newly born nine months later - after the city in which he won the twenty-fifth World Cup : Kaza.
Kaza made her first appearances for Starblaydia in the Women's World Cup, playing alongside her cousin Jade. Making seven substitute appearances, Kaza scored her first goal - a winner - against Jeruselem in a 2-1 victory. From then on she didn't look back, top-scoring for Starblaydia in a succession of tournaments - seven overall.
Six goals in AOCAF16, including a hat-trick against Andossa Se Mitrin Vega. Eleven in World Cup 31 with another hat-trick against Assegai Developments on Matchday one of the qualifiers. Fourteen goals in the next World Cup including two hat-tricks, against Schnabo and Harlesburg. Finally twelve goals in World Cup 34 - the best being a brace against San Monticaz - took her to a grand total of forty-two international goals for her country, placing her sixth on the all-time list.
When it came to a son of her own, Kaza picked her first hat-trick as inspiration for the boy who kept the family name going: Vega Matranga.
