Match8 Mar 2027
Every point is an argument now for Gazelle
Position 12 and 10 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Adoum Fachir frozen out at Gazelle
This is not rotation. Adoum Fachir has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Gazelle is pretending otherwise.

Hassane Boudina signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Hassane Boudina and Gazelle agree another 2 years.

Osée Natoyoum in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Gazelle this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Aziz Sabiri has improved at 24, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

A row about effort at Gazelle
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mohamed Hasnaoui was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Gazelle promote Abdramane Adoum from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Abdramane Adoum 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.
Match6 Mar 2027
A bad afternoon for Gazelle against AS Algoy
0‑1 to AS Algoy, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The manager makes an example of Aziz Sabiri
“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.
In brief
- Looking ahead Gazelle face AS Etat Major in the game that matters most
- The dugout Adam Adoum: “No excuses”
- Player ratings Nobody could get near Mahamat Mbaiguedem
