The move, reported across South Sudanese football circles, strengthens the Juba-based club’s defensive options as they prepare for the CECAFA Kagame Cup 2026 in Kigali, Rwanda, and the new domestic campaign.
Key Reinforcement for Regional Campaign
Yogusuk, born on 23 July 2004, has established himself as one of South Sudan’s most promising young shot-stoppers. He has represented the national team at senior and youth levels, earning recognition for his performances in the South Sudan Premier League with Kator FC.
Reports indicate the goalkeeper has already linked up with Jamus SC’s pre-season camp in Kigali, participating in training sessions ahead of the tournament.
Jamus SC, the reigning South Sudan Premier League champions, will compete in Group B of the CECAFA Kagame Cup alongside Tanzania’s Simba SC (six-time winners), defending champions Singida Black Stars FC, and Somalia’s Mogadishu City Club.
The tournament is scheduled to run from 24 July to 8 August 2026 at venues including Amahoro Stadium and Kigali Pelé Stadium.
Background and Rivalry Context
The transfer represents a significant intra-city switch in Juba. Jamus SC and Kator FC are established rivals in the South Sudan Premier League, with both clubs having featured prominently in recent seasons. Jamus SC claimed the 2024/25 league title unbeaten, finishing ahead of Kator FC.
Under new head coach Saber Ben Jabria, Jamus SC have been active in the transfer market and completed pre-season friendlies in Rwanda against sides such as Rayon Sports and Future Generation FC.
Yogusuk’s arrival adds depth to the goalkeeping department as the club balances domestic title defence with their debut (or renewed) push in regional competition.
Tournament Outlook
Group B presents a formidable challenge for the South Sudanese representatives. Simba SC and Singida Black Stars bring significant CAF experience and pedigree, while Mogadishu City Club adds further competitive edge.
Jamus SC will aim to make a strong impression in their regional outings, with the signing of Yogusuk seen as a key defensive reinforcement for the high-stakes matches.
