From the pitch
August 2026 · Match
Two wins for SC Nowruz Togoville
On 13 August the team travelled to Vogan and came from behind to win 2–1, with Samuel and Albert on the scoresheet — sparking interest from other local teams for future friendlies. On 22 August, SC Nowruz Togoville hosted Espoir FC de Vogan's U17s at Lycée de Togoville and won again, 2–1, in front of a large and appreciative crowd.
July 2026 · Education
BAC2 results, and the training programme restarts
After the rainy season overgrew the pitch, the field was cleared and mowed so training could resume — four sessions a week, now tracked with an attendance list. Six of our seven players who sat the Togolese BAC2 exam passed. A four-day team-building trip to Atakpamé is being proposed for late August, pending additional sponsorship.
June 2026 · Togoville
SC Nowruz Netherlands visits Togoville
A delegation travelled to Togoville to meet players, coaches, parents and Stichting De Thuishaven, closing with a friendly match that brought the whole community together. Responsibilities within the academy were formalised — Papa on daily organisation, Sergio on football development, Marga on communication with the Netherlands, and Yasser on partnerships — and several players signed learning or work contracts in an official ceremony.
26 May 2026 · Development
A support plan for six young talents
Together with local partners we built a concrete support plan for six young people from the region: three started a three-year vocational painting programme, and three are supported as students at the University of Lomé. The team also prepared for its June trip to Togoville — bringing equipment from the Netherlands, filming documentary content, and organising a large community event.
16 May 2026 · Away match
SC Nowruz Togoville 0–1 AFPA Football Academy
The team travelled roughly 60km to Afagnan for a hard-fought away match, ending 0–1 despite a disallowed goal and three injuries. AFPA's representatives praised the boys' quality and mentality after the match.

Convincing win in Lomé
After warm-up matches against FC Ekpui and FC Banka, the team travelled to Lomé on 9–10 April for a friendly against ASJEF and won 3–1 in front of a large, enthusiastic crowd — a trip that also strengthened local support for the project among parents and supporters.

A milestone for the Togoville Academy
An official meeting with players, parents, the municipality, the regional football district and social organisations — a sign that the academy is becoming an established part of the Togoville community. Covered on-site by LightNews TV Togo.
