A falling-out at BA All Stars
Muhammed Alao and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Emmanuel Wakaso will replay that one
1 error, one goal, and a night in front of the same three seconds. He will see it tonight, tomorrow and probably in February, and everybody who has played knows exactly which frame he keeps stopping on.
Match26 Sep 2026
BA All Stars and WAFA take a point apiece
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Osman Kudus: “We have to be better”
“It is not the end of the world and it is not good enough. Both of those are true.” The manager, after a 1‑1 draw, said the honest thing and then went to say it again inside.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
The manager has not finished forgetting Emmanuel Wakaso's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Andrew Appiah, 19, gets his chance
Off the academy pitches and onto a senior team sheet at 19. The debut is the easy part; the second appearance is the one every young player has to earn.
The dugout28 Sep 2026
No place in the plan for Sa'ad Tijjani
The manager wanted a different profile for this opponent, which is a real football reason and no consolation. He did nothing wrong and he did not play.

Abraham Wakaso finally opens his account
He wheeled away like a man who had been carrying it for months, because he had. BA All Stars have their signing off the mark and one press-conference question retired.

Half an hour was enough for Abraham Wakaso
He came on with the match going nowhere and left it settled. BA All Stars had the right man on the bench, and for once the timing was right too.
