The Plaza Colonia Chronicle
The terraces12 Jun 2028
Supporters organise against the Plaza Colonia board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.
Market12 Jun 2028
Agustín Zapata has said yes to Salto
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Plaza Colonia have lost him in all but the paperwork.
Squad12 Jun 2028
18 days out for Thiago Perez after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Plaza Colonia will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match10 Jun 2028
No end in sight to Plaza Colonia's wait for a win
7 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Plaza Colonia has to find a result from somewhere.

Haibrany Ruiz Díaz 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 The request is on a desk at Plaza Colonia, and it is not being withdrawn.

Plaza Colonia sell a favourite for $620.0K
The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Alex Bruno was one of the reasons people came, and $620.0K does not replace that by itself.
Transfer targets12 Jun 2028
Plaza Colonia agree $77.0K for David Stabile
The clubs have shaken hands with Liverpool Montevideo; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.
Market12 Jun 2028
Only the photograph left for Lucas Urán
Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Lucas Urán will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Plaza Colonia the goodbyes have quietly begun.
Boardroom12 Jun 2028
Lucas Urán has agreed to leave Plaza Colonia for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.
In brief
- Squad Tempers go at Plaza Colonia
- Market Plaza Colonia sell Alex Bruno for $620.0K
- The dugout Modibo Traoré frozen out at Plaza Colonia
