A fracture rules Angel Enciso out for 16 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Nacional will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Only the photograph left for Joel Figueredo

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Joel Figueredo will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Nacional the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market21 Aug 2028

Nacional may not be able to give Santiago Rojas what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Santiago Rojas wants continental football; whether Nacional can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad21 Aug 2028

Tempers go at Nacional

Jonatan Torres was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Thomás Gutiérrez falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

No hiding place for Federico Mekbel

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Federico Mekbel, and the manager let it.

Match3 Jun 2028

Leandro Meza settles it late for Nacional

The 87th minute, half the ground already edging towards the exits, and Leandro Meza decided nobody was going anywhere. Olimpia had no time left to answer.

Tobías Moriceau hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Nacional can pretend not to have heard.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Jonatan Torres in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nacional this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Gustavo Henrique gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Gustavo Henrique has just signed for Nacional, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Celso Ortiz stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Celso Ortiz and Nacional agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad5 Jun 2028

Words at Nacional training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Thomás Gutiérrez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match3 Jun 2028

Leandro Meza sends Nacional past Olimpia

It finished 1‑0, and it was Leandro Meza’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Nacional.

Market5 Jun 2028

General Diaz watching Mauricio Cabrera

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Nacional have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Player ratings5 Jun 2028

Leandro Meza in the eights

A performance of 8.29 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
