A knee injury of the worst kind for Moussa Diallo
61 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. US Forces Armees lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Graduation day at US Forces Armees
4 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Sekou Diarra steps up from the US Forces Armees academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sekou Diarra has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

US Forces Armees promote Cheick Sidibe from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Cheick Sidibe has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Abdoulaye Diaby steps up from the US Forces Armees academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Abdoulaye Diaby has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Lassana Doumbia joins the US Forces Armees first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Lassana Doumbia is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Bourama Boiré runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 15. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Djigui Haidara was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the US Forces Armees dressing room was either.
Boardroom5 Oct 2026
No investment in the facilities at US Forces Armees
Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.
In brief
- Match US Forces Armees and US Bougouba cancel each other out
- Squad Bertrand Essiane Ndjongolo moves up the pecking order
- Squad Sekou Diarra makes his debut at 16
