Squad30 Aug 2027

27 days out for Jean Marie Dongou after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Victoria United will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market30 Aug 2027

Raphaël Anaba puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Victoria United, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market30 Aug 2027

Jason Moulle has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Victoria United they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

Abduljeleel Abdulateef is a medical away from Victoria United

The deal with OFI is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A falling-out at Victoria United

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

Squad30 Aug 2027

Noham Akil is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Transfer targets30 Aug 2027

Victoria United rebuffed over Abdullah Monkhallah

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Stade Malien have kept their man, and Victoria United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad30 Aug 2027

A row about effort at Victoria United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Raphaël Anaba was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout30 Aug 2027

Samuel Ezekiel gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Samuel Ezekiel is on it.

Squad12 Jul 2027

A fracture rules Thomas Bawak Etta out for 56 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Victoria United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Victoria United lose Mamoudou Hassana

35 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.

Squad12 Jul 2027

Words exchanged at Victoria United

Collins Fai and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market12 Jul 2027

Cotonsport Garoua join the queue for Nko Ghangle Rattensi

Add another name to the list: Cotonsport Garoua have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Nko Ghangle Rattensi. The answer from Victoria United has not changed — yet.

Transfer targets12 Jul 2027

Victoria United rebuffed over Olivier Mbaizo

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Philadelphia Union have kept their man, and Victoria United go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad12 Jul 2027

A row about effort at Victoria United

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Samuel Ezekiel was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

When it matters, Ifeagwu Ojukwu plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout12 Jul 2027

The manager makes an example of Samuel Handy

“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.

Match12 Jul 2027

Victoria United have something to play for

Position 6 on 35 points, and the places that carry a European ticket are close enough to count. Seasons like this are decided by two results in April, and the club knows which two.

Squad5 Jul 2027

A fracture rules Thomas Bawak Etta out for 63 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Victoria United will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Bryan Nokoue is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Victoria United will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Market5 Jul 2027

Victoria United say no — this time

The offer from Cotonsport Garoua for Jason Moulle was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Abduljeleel Abdulateef is a medical away from Victoria United

The deal with OFI is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Abdoulaye Touré will not be coming to Victoria United

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Al Nasr is saying, and nobody at Victoria United is enjoying the guessing.

Squad5 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Victoria United

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

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

FCSB tell Victoria United: Joyskim Dawa 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.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Samuel Ezekiel 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.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Victoria United ask about Olivier Mbaizo

A loan enquiry to Philadelphia Union: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
