As he marks another birthday today, January 28, 2026, Abubakar Salaudeen is choosing reflection over celebration, focusing on the body of work he continues to build with consistency and purpose.
Abubakar currently works as a football writer at Softfootball , where he covers match narratives, transfer developments, and fan-driven stories. His work is driven by accuracy, structure, and context, and operating in a fast-paced digital newsroom has strengthened his research skills, news judgment, and ability to communicate clearly under pressure.
With a background in Communication and Media Studies, Abubakar brings an academic lens to his storytelling. He has participated actively in research projects, including studies on media representation and gender narratives in film. These experiences have sharpened his analytical thinking, critical writing, and attention to detail, skills that directly influence how he verifies facts and frames football stories.
