The AS Police Sentinel
Squad5 Oct 2026
A one-man rearguard from Oumar Koné
There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.
The terraces5 Oct 2026
The stands have turned
“Enough is enough. We have watched this for months.” 4 of the 11 senior players walked off to it, and the message was not aimed at any one of them.
Boardroom5 Oct 2026
Graduation day at AS Police
5 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.
Match3 Oct 2026
AS Police come up short against Real Bamako
Real Bamako left with the points after a 1‑3 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
Market5 Oct 2026
Amadou Kouyate steps up from the AS Police academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Amadou Kouyate 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.

Samba Djenepo steps up from the AS Police academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Samba Djenepo 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.

AS Police promote Hamari Malle from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Hamari Malle 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.

One of our own: Sekou Soumare joins the AS Police first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Sekou Soumare is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
The dugout5 Oct 2026
No hiding place for Taddeus Nkeng
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Taddeus Nkeng, and the manager let it.
In brief
- Squad Seydou Diallo is no longer first choice
- The dugout Falaye Dembele: “No excuses”
- The dugout Appolinaire Bougma is still paying for one afternoon at AS Police
