Isonga football club is looking for Rwf40m to have training clinics in Belgium and also play friendly games, according to its chairman Augustin Munyandmusta.The youthful side, which was drafted in the top flight division this season, has been in blistering form that has included wins against big clubs in the country, including champions APR, Rayon Sports and Mukura."We want to have training clinics in Belgium and also play friendlies with different clubs in a bid to show case our players,” Munyandmusta said, adding that the club’s philosophy is to export Rwandan players to European clubs.Isonga has already sold midfielder Solomon Nirisake to Belgian side Royal Antwerp for USD80.000, while the club has also sent two youngsters Michel Rusheshangago and Julius Bakabulindi for trials at the Belgian club.Meanwhile, Royal Antwerp President Gunther Hofmans will also visit the country in early May to establish relations between Isonga and his club so that the former U-17 side continues sending them players for trials.Isonga is currently in sixth position with 23 points, with a game in hand, and coach Eric Nshimiyimana is optimistic of a top four finish for a club that many people didn’t give a chance to make the grade in the highly competitive Primus League.
