Playing career

Kallon was born in Kenema, Sierra Leone. He played as a midfielder for Vanspor (1994–1995) in Turkey, Sportul Studenţesc București (1995–1996) in Romania, and PSM Makassar, Persikota Tangerang and Persebaya Surabaya (1996–1999) in Indonesia.{{NFT|56701}}

Kallon was capped several times for Sierra Leone between 1990 and 1998, and scored two goals in a 5–1 win against Niger to help Sierra Leone qualify for the 1996 African Cup of Nations in South Africa.

Coaching career

After retiring as a player, Kallon also coached the Sierra Leone U-17 side in the 2003 FIFA U-17 World Championship in Finland after managing a second-place finish in the 2003 African U-17 Championship.

In 2007 he coached Central Parade.{{cite web | url=https://allafrica.com/stories/200707170689.html | title= Sierra Leone: Musa Kallon's Suspension Lifted| publisher=Allafrica.com| language=English | date=17 July 2007 | accessdate=30 June 2019}}

Kallon coached Kallon F.C. to a runners up position in the 2004–05 League Championship. He fell out with his players, management and his younger brother, however, who later sacked him. In 2005, Kallon was banned for a year after forcefully stopping a league match between Kallon FC and Diamond Stars by letting his daughter sit down in the centre of the field, after the players refused to play under him.{{cite web | url=http://slconcordtimes.com/old-edwardians-fires-musa-kallon/ | title=Old Edwardians fires Musa Kallon | publisher=Concordtimes.com | language=English | date=10 February 2016 | accessdate=30 June 2019 | archive-date=30 June 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190630104347/http://slconcordtimes.com/old-edwardians-fires-musa-kallon/ | url-status=dead }}
