The Canon Yaounde Gazette

From our football correspondent Steady

Match18 Sep 2027

Canon Yaounde get the job done against Aigle Royal de Moungo

A 1-0 win over Aigle Royal de Moungo, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Squad20 Sep 2027

The manager makes an example of Franck Assiga Edoa

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Alfred Meyong asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The Canon Yaounde Gazette

From our football correspondent Steady

Match30 Dec 2026

Canon Yaounde through in the cup

A 3-2 win over Gazelle Garoua, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Market4 Jan 2027

Gazelle Garoua come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Canon Yaounde did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Juste Koulou 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.

Franck Ipoua attracts admirers

The name of Franck Ipoua has come up in conversations Canon Yaounde were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Match2 Jan 2027

Colombe du Dja et Lobo take the points off Canon Yaounde

Beaten 0-1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market4 Jan 2027

Canon Yaounde and Mamadou Coulibaly are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market4 Jan 2027

Canon Yaounde sign Lachlan Middleton, one for the future

Lachlan Middleton is 20, and Canon Yaounde have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Zacharie Ndongo Foé asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad4 Jan 2027

Henri Claude Balla finally opens his account

He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. Canon Yaounde have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.
