WITH the Fifa U-17 World Cup out of the way, the local football governing body, Ferwafa together with the U-17 Coaching staff is set to name a provisional squad ahead of the 2013 Caf U-17 championship as well as Fifa U-17 World Cup.

The team’s assistant coach Aloys Kanamugire yesterday said that the pre-selection would be done in Mid-July.

"We shall involve coaches for the U-17 youth leagues to pick the best of the best,” he said.

"As we did this year, we will also send scouts to Europe and other parts of the world to identify potential youngsters.”

Rwanda suffered an early exit in the tournament after managing one point out of a possible nine. The youngsters, who were drawn in Group C, lost to England 2-0 and Uruguay 1-0 before a goaless draw with Canada.
