After seven years, Rwandan football fans will once again have the chance to witness CAF Champions League group stage action at Amahoro Stadium. Rwanda is set to host group stage matches of Africa’s premier club competition for the first time since 2018, when Rayon Sports made history by reaching the group stages. The development comes after Rwanda Football Federation (FERWAFA)’s move to approve three Sudanese clubs: Al Merrikh SC, Al Hilal SC, and El Ahli SC Wadi Medani, to compete in the Rwandan topflight league this season. Al Hilal is playing in the CAF Champions League and is expected to host its matches in Kigali.
