Squad8 Feb 2027

Mehdi Khallati 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 Canon Yaounde this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Getting past Karim Bello has become the hardest job in the division

15 clean sheets and counting. Forwards used to back themselves here; now they shoot early, shoot wide, and look for somebody to blame.

Match6 Feb 2027

Whatever happens, Canon Yaounde do not lose

6 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Match6 Feb 2027

Canon Yaounde see off Dynamo Douala

Three points for Canon Yaounde, 2‑0 the final word against Dynamo Douala in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Hakim Sulemana in the eights

A performance of 8.58 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Issa Bangfome 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.

Market8 Feb 2027

PWD Bamenda are about to pick up the phone

A conversation is coming this week. Canon Yaounde will put a number on him, and from there it stops being football and becomes arithmetic.

Loan watch8 Feb 2027

Dieudonne Alex Essono Omgba counts the days

“I watch every Canon Yaounde game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at PWD Bamenda runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad8 Feb 2027

Clinton N'jie named in the team of the month

A month is long enough that nobody gets in by accident. Clinton N'jie is in the division's best eleven for it, which is a quieter compliment than an award and a more reliable one.

Match18 Jan 2027

Canon Yaounde up to position 1

45 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Hakim Sulemana, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 9.03

A mark of 9.03 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.

Player ratings18 Jan 2027

Clinton N'jie, 34, rolls back the years — 8.36

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.36 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Market18 Jan 2027

Canon Yaounde turn down Fortuna Mfou for Nathan Doualla

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Alan Correa gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Alan Correa has just signed for Canon Yaounde, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Canon Yaounde

Mehdi Khallati 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.

The terraces18 Jan 2027

The crowd has taken to Dilane Ekongolo

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Match16 Jan 2027

Canon Yaounde find a way past Panthere du Nde

Panthere du Nde made Canon Yaounde work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad18 Jan 2027

Another clean sheet for Karim Bello

12 shut-outs and counting. Goalkeepers are only noticed when they fail, and Karim Bello has given nobody the chance.
