The Gazelle Garoua Courier
Squad5 Oct 2026
Real improvement from Djakao Barka at Gazelle Garoua
Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Djakao Barka is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Wanre Daikreo has improved at 26, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

A bad afternoon for Gazelle Garoua against Victoria United
1‑2 to Victoria United, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Tempers go at Gazelle Garoua
Dave Tessa 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.

Words at Gazelle Garoua training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Wanre Daikreo 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.
Match3 Oct 2026
Chouaib El Maftoul answers Victoria United immediately
Conceding is one thing; the response is what tells you about a dressing room. Chouaib El Maftoul had Gazelle Garoua level again within 2 minutes, and Victoria United never got to play with a lead at all.

Jordy Doumbe Youmba's mistake decides it
Ten men and a goalkeeper behind him, and it still finished in the net. He knew before anybody told him, and nobody at Gazelle Garoua needed to.

The chances came and went for Marius Kalgong
4 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.

Prat Manyo never got going
5.46 on the card. Some afternoons a footballer looks like a man who has only just been introduced to the game, and this was one of them.
In brief
- Player ratings Kendry Domingo never got going
- Market Gazelle Garoua and Saidou Nouhou are talking past each other
