Savio Nshuti and Mustafa Nsengiyumva have been selected to represent Rwanda at this year’s two-week Copa Coca Cola international boot camp in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Nsengiyumva who plays for Anglican secondary school and Nshuti from Group Scolaire Akumunigo are among the best players who were selected at the  2013 Copa Coca-Cola schools tournament last month.

The Rwanda Schools Sports Federation’s technical director, Aaron Rurangirwa told Times Sport, "The pair exhibited good skills and they were picked on merit basing on their performance compared to other students,”

"We hope they will impress even at the international stage which will have other young footballers picked from different other nations,” added Rurangirwa.

APR’s trio Emely Bayisenge, Jacques Cyubahiro and Yannick Mukunzi are among the other Rwandan young talented players that have passed through the Copa coca cola football stars camp in South Africa.

In 2001, Eric Uwiragiye and Pasteur Mucyo were the best two players who were picked while Djuma Nizeyimana and Amerika Kalisa underwent similar camp last year after impressing on the local scene.
