By
Image
South Sudan former interim head coach Cyprian Ashu believes the Bright Stars can challenge for qualification in Group B of the TotalEnergies AFCON 2027 qualifiers despite being drawn against Egypt, Angola and Malawi. Ashu, who was appointed as interim coach on March 12, 2026, in his second spell with the Bright Stars, successfully guided South Sudan past Djibouti in the preliminary round to secure a place in the group stages. Reacting to the draw, the Cameroonian tactician described the group as “interesting, promising and very difficult,” while highlighting the pedigree of African giants Egypt. “Egypt, we all know, has won so many African Cup of Nations trophies, probably only rivaled by Cameroon. They are also a very good team,” Ashu said. He also pointed to the strength of Angola and Malawi, two sides he has closely analysed and faced in recent qualification campaigns. “Angola is a very good team with many players based in Portugal, while Malawi are also a side we know very well,” ...

OPINION | When Silence Becomes Structure: Juba Queens and the Transparency Gap in South Sudan Football

By
Image
© South Sudan Football Federation / Official Media By Emmanuel Patrick Laku | Sports Hunter South Sudan Football does not fail only when rules are broken. It fails more quietly—when rules exist, but their application cannot be seen. In South Sudan, the emergence of Juba Queens FC has become more than the story of a new women’s club. It has become a stress test of football governance itself: whether the game is guided by written regulation, or by procedures that operate without public explanation. Because in football administration, what is not explained is quickly replaced by what is assumed. And what is assumed soon becomes accepted. The case of Juba Queens exposes a governance gap in South Sudan football where regulation exists in practice but not in transparency. A System That Operates Without Being Seen According to individuals familiar with domestic football administration, Juba Queens were registered directly under the South Sudan Football Federation (SSFF) rather than through th...

Shadows Behind the Touchline: The Nicolas Dupuis Saga and the Crisis of Governance in South Sudan Football

Shadows Behind the Touchline: The Nicolas Dupuis Saga and the Crisis of Governance in South Sudan Football Opinion By: Emmanuel Patrick Laku — Sports Hunter South Sudan In global football, professionalism is not a luxury. It is the baseline on which every credible football project is built. Contracts, transparency, communication, accountability—these are the pillars that sustain national teams. Yet in South Sudan, a prolonged and deeply unsettling saga surrounding Bright Star head coach Nicolas Dupuis has revealed the fragility of these foundations. His dispute with the South Sudan Football Federation (SSFF) has evolved from a private grievance into a public test of governance—and the silence around it is now louder than any explanation offered. At the centre of it all stands a single question: Can a football nation succeed when its leadership refuses to speak clearly, act transparently, or honour its own commitments? A Press Conference That Broke the Quiet The turning point un...

By: Emmanuel Patrick Laku | Sports Hunter South Sudan Juba, South Sudan - 9th April 20226 - Former Kator FC head coach Nicola Peter Orat has opened up on the reasons behind his resignation, pointing to a breakdown in relations with the club’s new administration. In an interview conducted by Hatrick 24 and monitored by Sports Hunter South Sudan, Orat said he felt undervalued and disrespected by members of the newly appointed steering committee. “The reason for the resignation is the new administration. The newly appointed people did not give me my value and were not respecting me,” he said. The coach, who had initially chosen to remain silent, confirmed he decided to speak publicly to clarify his position. “I had opted not to discuss what happened, but today I’m talking in the media.” Orat stepped down shortly after Kator’s draw with Lion Hunters FC in the South Sudan Premier League — a match that saw him face his curren side.

OPINION | When Questions Changed the Game: How Juba Queens Became a Turning Point for Football Governance in South Sudan

By

Juba Queens completed a key administrative step at the Juba Football Association during the signing of striker Sarah Night James, as the club moves through its official registration process ahead of league participation. Photo Credit: Juba Queens By Emmanuel Patrick Laku | Sports Hunter South Sudan Football is often remembered through goals, trophies, and moments of brilliance under pressure. But its most defining moments are not always played on grass. Sometimes they unfold in silence—inside administrative systems, procedural decisions, and the quiet structures that determine who is recognised, how they are recognised, and whether anyone can see the process at all. This is one of those moments. On Sunday morning, Sports Hunter South Sudan published an opinion titled “When Silence Becomes Structure: Juba Queens and the Transparency Gap in South Sudan Football.” It did not question the existence of a club, nor the ambition behind it. It questioned something more fundamental: whethe...

Victor Lawrence: Carrying a Nation’s Expectations — and the Silence of a Paused Passion

   Feature | Inside pressure, disqualification, and the quiet return of identity By: Emmanuel Patrick Laku | Sports Hunter South Sudan Juba, South Sudan 28th April 2026 - There are moments in football that are recorded in results — and others that are carried long after the result is forgotten. For Victor Lawrence, former Secretary General of the South Sudan Football Federation , the defining chapter of his 4 years and 7 months in office , which ended in November 2025 , lives in those quieter moments. Not in victory. But in responsibility.  “I was trying to build something that would last” Before the setbacks, there was intention. “I challenged myself to leave something meaningful behind — building pathways for coaches through CAF C and B diplomas, and putting structures in place.” It was a long-term vision inside a system under constant short-term demand. “The most difficult pressure was balancing expectations with reality.” Expectations came from everywher...
