Matsima: FC Augsburg is confident in its future until 2030!
The football world in Augsburg never sleeps! Chrislain Matsima, the 23-year-old FC Augsburg defender, has extended his contract early until June 30, 2030, thereby firmly anchoring himself in the heart of the club. After his strong first season, in which he established himself as an integral part of the defense, he is ready to take on new challenges and has big plans for his future. “I feel comfortable at FCA and see the opportunity to grow as a player and person,” he explains. That's how he reports FC Augsburg.
Augsburg's defense has wobbled a lot recently. After a bitter 3-0 defeat against TSG Hoffenheim, Matsima stated that the team did not perform well enough defensively and offensively and emphasized that responsibility must be taken. In the last five games, the team conceded a whopping 13 goals. Before the game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, he describes the upcoming opponent as strong and self-confident, but sees the need to give everything.
The path to the FCA
Matsima, who originally comes from France, came to Augsburg on loan from AS Monaco last year, where he has now been permanently signed. Last season he made 30 appearances, scored one goal and also recorded an assist himself. He hasn't missed a minute so far this season. “I’m grateful for the club’s trust,” he says gratefully. He has also played internationally for the French U21 national team and reached the semi-finals of the 2025 European U21 Championship in Slovakia bundesliga.com reported.
A life outside the square
Information about the lifestyle of professional athletes shows that many of them earn high incomes, especially in football. With his newly extended contract, Matsima is certainly not one of the poorest players, but it is important to manage wisely in this area too. The Bundesliga has increasing personnel expenses with a total of around two billion euros for the 1st and 2nd leagues. Statista shows that the earning potential in professional sports can be enormous. However, a smart person like Matsima will make sure to keep his finances under control.
Off the pitch, the young player has close relationships with his former Monaco colleagues, including Han-Noah Massengo, and spends a lot of time with his French teammates at FCA, particularly Samuel Essende. He is also impressed by the beautiful city of Augsburg. He is particularly attracted to Maximilianstrasse and the Christmas market. He feels comfortable and has found his home with his wife, with whom he lives in Augsburg. This shows that Matsima has become an important figure in the team and in the city of Augsburg not only on the pitch but also off it.
