Kalvin Orsi joins Alloa

Alloa Athletic Football Club are delighted to announce the signing of winger Kalvin Orsi, aged 28, from Dumbarton, pending approval from the SFA.

Orsi developed through the youth systems at Aberdeen, and St Mirren, before turning professional. His senior career includes spells at Queen’s Park, Brechin City, Greenock Morton, and most recently Dumbarton, where he made over 150 appearances across four seasons.

“He’s quick, strong, skillful … Kalvin in full tilt is great fun to watch.”

In addition to his exciting playing style, Orsi is known for his work-rate and versatility—capable of operating on either flank or as a central forward when required.

Tochukwu Ogayi signs

We’re pleased to officially welcome Tochukwu Ogayi back to the Wasps for the 2025/26 season.

‘Tochi’ or ‘Big Phil’ as he’s sometimes known in the Alloa support has been a fan favourite after his unlikely signature in 23/24. He’s had strong competition in the goalkeeping department pushing PJ Morrison for his place in the team and he will again add that depth in the goalkeeping department.

New surface to be installed at Alloa

Alloa Athletic FC are delighted to announce a £400,000 improvement package at the Indodrill Stadium over the coming season. This will include an upgrade to the playing surface, with a new Vertex Core Prime pitch to be installed. The new surface meets FIFA Quality Pro criteria and is used globally at elite performance levels and in top-tier competitive play.

Unfortunately, the installation of the new surface will cause some disruption to fixtures and bookings at the start of the season, and the Club is working hard to put contingency arrangements in place.

The pitch installation is scheduled to take place from Monday, 21st July to Friday, 22nd August.

All fixtures in the Premier Sports Cup will go ahead as scheduled. However, the home league game against Stenhousemuir on 2nd August has been reversed and will now be played away. In addition, while awaiting the draw for the KDM Evolution Trophy, the Club has requested an away fixture, if possible, for the match currently scheduled on Tuesday, 12th August. The reverse fixture against Stenhousemuir on the 25th October will now be at home in Alloa.

Alloa Stirlingshire Cup double header

Alloa Athletic are preparing to face Falkirk and East Stirlingshire as the Stirlingshire Cup makes its return in 2025, this time with a refreshed structure to incorporate it into a preseason schedule. The competition, which reappeared last year after an eight-year break, originally saw the Wasps take on East Stirlingshire and Stirling Albion. This season, the format has been reshaped into a group-stage style tournament, with teams split into two mini-leagues.

Matches will be held at two venues—Falkirk Stadium and Ochilview Park, home to Stenhousemuir. Each club will play two shortened, 60-minute games in a single day. As hosts

Once again, six teams are involved: Alloa, Falkirk, Stirling Albion, East Stirlingshire, Stenhousemuir, and Dumbarton.

Alloa’s group fixtures are set for Saturday, June 21 at Falkirk Stadium. They’ll face Premiership side Falkirk at 10 a.m, followed by a clash with Lowland League outfit East Stirlingshire at midday.

Alloa Athletic FC support will be seated in Falkirk’s North Stand and tickets can be purchased here:

TICKETS AVAILABLE FROM FALKIRK FC (click here)

Please note that ticket purchase entitles you to watch all 3 games, however supporters cannot leave the stadium and then return.

The other group includes Stenhousemuir, Dumbarton, and Stirling Albion. After the group matches, the top teams from each side will go head-to-head in the final, also at Falkirk Stadium. The final date is yet to be announced.

Originally launched on Christmas Day in 1883 by the Stirlingshire FA, the competition was held annually until 2016, pausing only during wartime and the 2008–09 season. Alloa first claimed the title in 1904 and have lifted the trophy 13 times, most recently in 1997.

When the cup returned last year, it did so with a more flexible schedule due to calendar constraints. Falkirk emerged as champions, comfortably beating Stirling Albion 5-1 in the final.
