Moussa Ndoram damages knee ligaments — 14 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 14 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.
Market31 Aug 2026
Galactik come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and AS Algoy did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market31 Aug 2026
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Market31 Aug 2026
Fee agreed, wages agreed, and AS Etat Major waiting with a shirt. Nobody at AS Algoy is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.
Market31 Aug 2026
The name of Marius Mbainaissem has come up in conversations AS Algoy were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Words exchanged at AS Algoy
Marius Mahamat and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Moussa Ndoram
21 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. AS Algoy lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market24 Aug 2026
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what AS Algoy can pretend not to have heard.
Market24 Aug 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Squad24 Aug 2026
Marius Mahamat 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.

A row about effort at AS Algoy
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Munir Regragui was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Ayoub Harit
“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.

A loan move for Goukouni Abakar is in the works
AS Algoy have made the call to Elect Sport. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
Squad24 Aug 2026
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Moussa Ndoram commits to AS Algoy for another 3 years.
Market24 Aug 2026
“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.

Moussa Ndoram damages knee ligaments — 28 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 28 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

AS Algoy say no — this time
The offer from Galactik for Idriss Souleymane 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.

Ayoub Harit 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 AS Algoy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at AS Algoy training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Issa Haroun 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.

The name of Ali Djimet has come up in conversations AS Algoy were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

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

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ali Mbainaissem and AS Algoy agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Market17 Aug 2026
Still no signature from Issa Haroun
7 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what AS Algoy could get for him.
Market17 Aug 2026
“Ambitious players need ambitious projects. Draw your own conclusions.” Marius Mbainaissem’s representative said it with a smile, and made sure everyone wrote it down.

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Moussa Ndoram 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.
Market10 Aug 2026
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Abdramane Moustapha 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.
Transfer targets10 Aug 2026
Elect Sport 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.
