Player ratings8 Feb 2027

Aboubakar Diabagaté, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.99

A mark of 7.99 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Tom Auvré signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Tom Auvré and US Bougouni agree another 4 years.

Transfer targets8 Feb 2027

Real Bamako tell US Bougouni: Samba Fofana is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

US Bougouni supporters have found a favourite in Aboubakar Diabagaté

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Aboubakar Diabagaté has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout8 Feb 2027

The manager makes an example of Sasha Bernard

“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.

Nobody could get near Daouda Coulibaly

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad8 Feb 2027

A falling-out at US Bougouni

Baye Bass Thioune and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Too much change too quickly at US Bougouni

7 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Sebastiao Gaspar 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.

Yacouba Ouattara, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.64

A mark of 7.64 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Boardroom1 Feb 2027

US Bougouni close the window on a squad of their own making

3 in and 0 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Player ratings1 Feb 2027

Nobody could get near Appolinaire Bougma

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Yacouba Ouattara signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Yacouba Ouattara and US Bougouni agree another 3 years.

Squad1 Feb 2027

Clément Kanouté 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 US Bougouni this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets1 Feb 2027

US Bougouni rebuffed over Terence Ngankam

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Unisport Bafang have kept their man, and US Bougouni go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Match30 Jan 2027

US Bougouni see off US Bougouba

Three points for US Bougouni, 2‑1 the final word against US Bougouba in a contest settled by the finer margins.

US Bougouni supporters have found a favourite in Yacouba Ouattara

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Yacouba Ouattara has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings1 Feb 2027

Ninety minutes of Daouda Coulibaly at his very best

Marked 8.42. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at US Bougouni.
