Match16 Jan 2027

A hiding for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Beaten 1‑8 by Victoria United, and beaten everywhere it matters. The inquest starts on the training pitch on Monday morning.

Market18 Jan 2027

Patrick Fergani agrees terms with Gazelle Garoua

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Colombe du Dja et Lobo people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad18 Jan 2027

7 saves: Édouard Sombang was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 7 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Arthur Yene pops up at the right end — 7.73

7.73, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Jean Hugues Eyango 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 Colombe du Dja et Lobo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match16 Jan 2027

9 goals as Colombe du Dja et Lobo and Victoria United go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 9 goals between Colombe du Dja et Lobo and Victoria United, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Khalid Muhammed 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.

Boardroom18 Jan 2027

Inquest at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

The manager kept them in and said what needed saying. A response is expected on Saturday, and if it does not come the questions move upstairs.

The dugout18 Jan 2027

Herve Dawa answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 1‑8, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Édouard Sombang stands alone

12 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Henry Tchikeu damages knee ligaments — 14 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 14 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market14 Dec 2026

Only the photograph left for Herval Joel Ndedi Kingue

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Herval Joel Ndedi Kingue will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Colombe du Dja et Lobo the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Édouard Sombang signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Édouard Sombang and Colombe du Dja et Lobo agree another 4 years.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Words exchanged at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Yvan Mvondo Olama and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

No hiding place for Arthur Yene

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

Match12 Dec 2026

Colombe du Dja et Lobo share the spoils with Cotonsport Garoua

A 1‑1 draw with Cotonsport Garoua leaves the dressing room somewhere between relief and regret.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Herve Dawa was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Colombe du Dja et Lobo dressing room was either.

Market14 Dec 2026

The Jean Hugues Eyango story refuses to die

It has been denied twice and printed three times, which is the usual arithmetic. Until Jean Hugues Eyango signs something — a contract at Colombe du Dja et Lobo or anywhere else — this column belongs to him.

Squad19 Oct 2026

The knee: Henry Tchikeu out for 73 days

73 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Colombe du Dja et Lobo lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Édouard Sombang stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Up for the corner, and Arthur Yene delivers — 7.88

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Arthur Yene scored, was marked 7.88, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Market19 Oct 2026

Herval Joel Ndedi Kingue is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Colombe du Dja et Lobo is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Juillard Abeng Mefoe at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Juillard Abeng Mefoe is 18, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match17 Oct 2026

Jean Hugues Eyango’s goal not enough for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Jean Hugues Eyango scored, and precious little else went right: 2‑3 to Victoria United, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words at Colombe du Dja et Lobo training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Khalid Muhammed 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.

Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Jean Hugues Eyango in the eights

A performance of 8.63 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Match17 Oct 2026

Jean Hugues Eyango answers Victoria United immediately

Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Jean Hugues Eyango had Colombe du Dja et Lobo level again within 1 minutes, and Victoria United never got to play with a lead at all.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Henry Tchikeu

87 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Colombe du Dja et Lobo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Jean Hugues Eyango 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.

Squad5 Oct 2026

The step up is real for James Tendoh

At 19 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Khalid Muhammed was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match3 Oct 2026

Edmond Sindjo’s goal not enough for Colombe du Dja et Lobo

Edmond Sindjo scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Canon Yaounde, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Steeve Lima gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Arthur Yene beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Herve Dawa to a room that had heard them before.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

The chances came and went for Jean Hugues Eyango

9 shots, and a count that reads like a good afternoon until you check the other column. Strikers survive weeks like this on the understanding that the chances keep arriving; the day they stop is the day it becomes a problem.

Jean Hugues Eyango 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 Colombe du Dja et Lobo this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

One of our own: Samuel Choupo-Moting joins the Colombe du Dja et Lobo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Samuel Choupo-Moting is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
