APR FC booked their place in the 2026 Peace Cup quarterfinals after knocking out SC Kiyovu with a 2–0 aggregate victory in the Round of 16.

The army side’s 2–0 first-leg advantage proved decisive, as a goalless draw in the second leg at Kigali Pele Stadium on Wednesday, March 4, was enough to see them through to the last eight.
