  • Not entirely sure if Muhammad Khaunda is an incredibly misspelled version of Mohamad Moustafa Kadir or indeed a different player who's only game was a match Moustafa Kadir was absent by coincidence?

    1. Did he play for Valentine at all in 2025?

    2. This new OFC League does make our system problems. Leagues have to be attached to a country - should I make it a New Zealand League, or are there other ideas?

    I am almost sure he never appeared for Valentine in 2025 but was still at the club for some of 2025 and I am agreeing with New Zealand League.

  • I appear to have made an error which I apologise for. He has never played for New Radiant Malé and he was infact still at Maaziya Malé in 2025/26, which therefore he was a league champion in 2025/26.

  • A trawl through Costa Rica newspaper archives last month found this.

    COSTA RICA Julio MORALES, Javier MASÍS, William JIMÉNEZ, Ricardo GARCÍA, Carlos TOPPINGS, Francisco HERNÁNDEZ, Tomás VELÁSQUEZ, Herbeth QUESADA, Jorge WHITE, Omar ARROYO, Marvin OBANDO Subs: William ÁVILA, Luis FERNÁNDEZ, Roger ÁLVAREZ, Dennis MARSHALL

    CUBA Fermin MADERA, Miguel LÓPEZ, Carlos LORETO, Luis DREKE, Luis Manuel SÁNCHEZ, Regino DELGADO, Jorge MASSO, Andrés ROLDÁN, CEPEDÁ, Ramón NUÑEZ, Dagoberto LARA


    Not sure about Cepeda, I have found nothing about him. It could be a misprint for Julio Cepero who was still in the squad in 1979. Report is not very specific about the goals. Half time was 0-0.
