The R15 League season has officially kicked off! This Sunday, June 28, 2026 , the Army Omnisports Society (SOA) will make its debut against a formidable ORA Attécoubé side. The match will take place at the INJS stadium in Marcory and promises to be a thrilling encounter.

The forces involved

1. The SOA (Les "Sondjas"): Under the leadership of their president, Lieutenant-Colonel Kamagaté Harouna, the military team aims for a successful debut. The technical staff, led by the coaching duo Aka Christian and Eba Christian , will be able to count on its long-standing players:
2. Captain Daly Bohui Franck
3. Scrum-half François Sidibé
4. The dazzling defender Bohoussou Koffi Anderson
5. ORA Attécoubé: Known for their fighting spirit, the "Adjamelais" arrive without any hang-ups, with the firm intention of shaking up the hierarchy and creating a surprise from this first day.

Confidence and serenity among the military

Despite the legitimate pressure of an opening match, President Kamagaté Harouna displays a calm optimism regarding the capabilities of his men:

"The first match is always difficult, but I remain optimistic about the result given the work done by the coaching staff and all the players. The group is ready to take on this challenge."

An already busy schedule

For the Orange and Black of SOA, the objective is clear: to secure victory this Sunday and approach the rest of the season with confidence. The pace will be very demanding, as they will have to play a rescheduled match against Yopougon Rugby Club next week.
