The mood at Depor has turned into something else
Supporters who sing when it goes badly are supporters. Supporters who gather afterwards are a problem, and everybody inside the building knows which of the two this now is.
Squad24 Jan 2028
91 days out for Favio Brizuela after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Depor will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.
Match22 Jan 2028
The wait goes on for Depor
8 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.
Match22 Jan 2028
The goals have deserted Depor
7 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Depor can tell you which week it ends in.

Santiago Saavedra: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Depor have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Graduation day at Depor
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.

Depor promote Richard Medina from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Richard Medina 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.

Javier Uribe steps up from the Depor academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Javier Uribe 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.

Jesus Duque steps up from the Depor academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Jesus Duque 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.
