Tonj South, South Sudan – One of the most talked-about names in the Tonj South Local Football Association (TSLFA) First Division is none other than Apuk Edwards, the highly rated goalkeeper for Blue Star FC. As the league heads into the final stretch, credible sources suggest that the 25-year-old shot-stopper is on the radar of Red Flames FC, a rising powerhouse known for investing in top local talent.
Blue Star FC currently sits 6th on the TSLFA league table, in a season dominated by Tonj United FC, who lead the pack with strong performances across the board. Despite Blue Star’s mid-table struggles, Apuk has been nothing short of exceptional in matches and proving himself to be a critical last line of defense.
Scouts from Red Flames Scouting, the official talent identification wing of Red Flames FC, have reportedly been seen attending recent Blue Star fixtures, closely monitoring Apuk’s movements and in-game leadership. This has added fuel to the rumors of a potential move once the TSLFA transfer window reopens.
Who are Red Flames FC and Red Flames Scouting?
Red Flames FC is a fast-rising club that competes in regional and inter-state tournaments, with ambitions to join South Sudan’s national league structure in the coming seasons. Known for its structured approach and youth development programs, Red Flames FC has become an attractive destination for players seeking professional growth and better facilities.
Their scouting division, Red Flames Scouting, has been particularly active in identifying emerging talents across Tonj, Wau, and Juba. The presence of their scouts at Blue Star matches suggests Apuk is high on their recruitment list as they look to build a competitive squad for upcoming competitions.
While no official bid has been announced, sources close to the situation hint that an offer could be imminent.
Apuk Edwards, who also represents Tonj South County in regional fixtures, is seen by many as a goalkeeper destined for a bigger stage. With his calm composure, excellent reflexes, and commanding vocal presence, he has all the attributes of a top-level number one.
As transfer talks heat up and Red Flames FC circles, Blue Star fans will be watching anxiously—wondering whether their star keeper will stay, or make the leap to one of South Sudan’s most ambitious clubs.
