APR have arrived in Tunis, Tunisia, with it all to do in the return-leg after being held by Etoile du Sahel in the first-leg of their Caf Champions League first round on October 16. The two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Kigali Stadium, with the return leg due this Saturday, October 23, in the Tunisian capital. An APR delegation of 48 people, including 25 players, arrived in Tunisia via Qatar on Wednesday. “The players are buoyant to beat Étoile du Sahel and register further history in Rwandan football,” said Adil Erradi, the APR head coach. He added: “We want to reach the group stage and drive away from the traditional early elimination in CAF competitions. We know it is tough but we will give our best.” Should APR fail to progress, they will drop to the Caf Confederation Cup where they will fight for a spot into the group stage.
