The experience left a strong impression on the streamer, who shared his excitement with fans online, describing Rwanda as one of the most beautiful countries he has ever visited. He praised the country’s natural beauty and cleanliness, repeatedly expressing surprise at how peaceful and welcoming the environment felt. Following the match—where Rayon Sports thrashed Indahangarwa 3–0 to lift the trophy and claim prize money of Rwf 20 million—Speed headed straight to BK Arena, Kigali’s flagship indoor sports and entertainment venue. There, he took time to interact with fans and admire the modern infrastructure. The visit further highlighted Rwanda’s growing reputation as a regional hub for major sports and entertainment events. Throughout the day, Speed openly spoke about how much he enjoyed his time in the country. At one point, he hinted that this might not be his last visit, saying he would love to return. “I’ll come back one day and stay for a week, just for a vacation,” he said. Speed’s stop in Rwanda is part of a wider Africa tour that has seen him blend live streaming, cultural experiences, and surprise public appearances across the continent. His presence at the Women’s Super Cup also shone an international spotlight on women’s football in Rwanda, adding global visibility to a match that celebrated the continued growth of the women’s game.
