Finishing in 6th place with 9 wins, 3 draws, and 10 losses, the team demonstrated resilience and a desire to grow. The season’s fun fact? It was truly a season of football with its own unique story—marked by moments of promise amid the challenges. Despite a modest goal tally of 25 and conceding 31, the team showed glimpses of potential that can be harnessed moving forward.

This season was about laying the groundwork, with a focus on building team cohesion and gaining valuable experience.

While individual statistics did not highlight standout goal scorers, the season’s true strength lay in the collective effort of the squad. The top players—Frederic Leroy, Domingo Gomez, Abilio Machado, Mohamed Hassan, and Kojo Kanno—each contributed in multiple ways, embodying the team player ethos. Their versatility and commitment were vital in maintaining team cohesion throughout the season.

To elevate their performance, Ormon United should focus on enhancing their attacking options and goal-scoring capabilities.
