Strong Start Despite Away Challenges

Komani Black Stars began their 2026 campaign with four consecutive away fixtures. Despite the travel and tough conditions, the team has shown resilience and form.

They secured a 2–0 victory over Mighty Bucks and followed that up with an impressive 5–2 win against Holly Kings. Both results have boosted confidence within the squad.

However, not all fixtures went ahead as planned. A scheduled match against Real Mashaba last Sunday was postponed due to an unplayable field. Earlier in the month, on 8 February, their away clash against 4th WSU Falcon was also postponed for the same reason.

These postponements mean Black Stars now have two games in hand — both expected to be challenging encounters when rescheduled.

A Derby With Pride at Stake

AFC Komani Stars are no strangers to success. The team previously won the regional league and has been a strong presence in local football for several years.

Black Stars currently remain unbeaten in their three completed matches this season and will be aiming to maintain that record.
