Rwanda flag-bearers in Africa Inter-club tournaments, APR FC and AS Kigali allowed to start training.

The Ministry of Sports on September 28, 2020, issued a statement authorizing the resumption of sports activities. It stated that every concerned federation is required to submit a timetable. This timetable should include training and competitions of its member clubs and associations before the commencement of activities.

It is in this context that the Ministry of Sports responded to the request from Rwanda FA to permit its member clubs, APR FC and AS Kigali to start training. In the letter, the ministry of sports allowed the teams to start training as long as they respect the COVID-19 return to play guidelines.

APR FC tested their players, coaches and all staff members while AS Kigali also announced that the squad members will be tested soon and put in camp and start training.

APR FC clinched the league title last season which gives them a slot to represent Rwanda in the CAF Champions league while AS Kigali season finished in sixth place but having won the last Peace Cup to be played and concluded, entitles them to represent Rwanda in the CAF Confederation Cup.
