Match19 May 2029

9 matches without a win for Sofapaka

The run now stands at 9, and the questions being asked around Sofapaka are no longer polite ones.

Squad21 May 2029

Timothy Ndayala breaks a bone — 21 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 21 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings21 May 2029

Edwin Lutta pops up at the right end — 7.92

7.92, 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.

Squad21 May 2029

Tempers go at Sofapaka

David Nshimirimana 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.

Boardroom21 May 2029

Belts tighten at Sofapaka

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

Squad21 May 2029

David King'atua 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.

Match19 May 2029

Sofapaka rescue it on 92 minutes

Behind, and beaten by any honest reading, until minute 92. Muranga Seal had the points in their pocket and a corner of the ground still believed, which is generally when it happens.

The dugout21 May 2029

No hiding place for Finley Teesdale

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

Match19 May 2029

Edwin Lutta rescues a point for Sofapaka

It needed Edwin Lutta to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Muranga Seal, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad18 Sep 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for David Nshimirimana

115 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sofapaka lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

The terraces18 Sep 2028

Anger at Sofapaka spills outside the ground

It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Boardroom18 Sep 2028

The scrutiny sharpens at Sofapaka

Nobody upstairs has said anything, which is the loudest thing they could do. Results buy silence in this game; the account at Sofapaka is running low.

Match16 Sep 2028

Sofapaka strike at the death to beat Muranga Seal

There were 89 minutes on the clock and Muranga Seal had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Sofapaka did not stop to explain themselves.

Squad18 Sep 2028

David Nshimirimana 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 Sofapaka this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad18 Sep 2028

Words at Sofapaka training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. David King'atua 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.

The terraces18 Sep 2028

Sofapaka supporters have found a favourite in Peter Onyango

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 16-year-old it feels ownership of. Peter Onyango 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.

Match16 Sep 2028

Collins Kagere sends Sofapaka past Muranga Seal

It finished 1‑0, and it was Collins Kagere’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Sofapaka.

The dugout18 Sep 2028

The manager makes an example of Victor Augo

“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.
