Squad26 Oct 2026

João Lima breaks a bone — 92 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 92 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match22 Oct 2026

A European night to remember for Tondela

0‑0 against Napredak, under lights, against people who do not speak the same language as the crowd. These are the evenings a club measures its decade in, and there are never as many of them as anybody expects.

Match25 Oct 2026

5 matches without a win for Tondela

The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Tondela are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Rémy Vita beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 24. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad26 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Tondela

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Makan Aïko was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Tomané

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tomané, and the manager let it.

Match25 Oct 2026

A bad afternoon for Tondela against Moreirense

0‑1 to Moreirense, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Tondela

Ryan Lima was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad26 Oct 2026

12 new faces, and Tondela are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad19 Oct 2026

A fracture rules João Lima out for 100 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Tondela will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match17 Oct 2026

Nowhere to hide for Tondela

1‑4 against Alverca, and no complaints that would survive the replay. The manager spoke about character afterwards; the terraces used shorter words.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Lucas Cañizares stands alone

7 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Makan Aïko falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Tondela

João Afonso was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Boardroom19 Oct 2026

Nobody left the Tondela dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 1‑4 Diogo Castro left the room before anybody could ask which.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

A promise honoured at Tondela

Something was said to Rony Lopes and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of João Afonso

“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.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad5 Oct 2026

A one-man rearguard from Lucas Cañizares

There were 10 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.

Match4 Oct 2026

Chastening afternoon for Tondela

A 0‑4 beating by Porto was the sort of result that empties a stadium long before the final whistle.

Match1 Oct 2026

Tondela come up short in Europe

1‑2 away to the standard of IFK Goteborg. Nobody will pretend this was a scandal; the gap is real, it is measurable, and closing it is a project rather than a team talk.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Makan Aïko falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Home is on Henry Addo's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Tondela are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Tondela

João Afonso and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Boardroom5 Oct 2026

Nobody left the Tondela dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Loan watch5 Oct 2026

Carlão wants to come home

“I did not go to Oliveirense to sit and watch. I want to come back to Tondela and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 5 matches say the rest.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Diogo Castro: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑4, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market3 Aug 2026

Tondela say no — this time

The offer from Ajax Cape Town for Yaya Sithole was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tomané signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Tomané commits to Tondela for another 2 years.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

An offer of $240.0K for João Lima

Tondela have gone to Fortaleza with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tondela

Brayan Medina was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Tondela training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Makan Aïko is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Tondela and Tomané

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Tondela try to borrow Gustaf Nilsson

Club Brugge have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Tondela ask about Cauan Barros

A loan enquiry to Vasco da Gama: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tondela are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

In brief
