Rayon Sports head coach Bruno Ferry insists his side is focused on securing three points—not settling scores—when they face league leaders Al Hilal in a Rwanda Premier League showdown at Kigali Pele Stadium on Wednesday. Al Hilal handed the Blues a heavy 4–0 defeat at Amahoro Stadium in January. However, ahead of the rescheduled Matchday 19 clash, Ferry dismissed any talk of revenge, stressing that his team’s priority is to maintain their strong second-round form. “It is not about revenge, it is about three points. The players have started to gain confidence, and we must keep working hard. We are building a team that continues to win matches,” Ferry said. A victory would narrow the gap at the top to just three points, keeping Rayon firmly in the title conversation. Al Hilal currently top the table with 41 points and two games in hand, while Rayon Sports sit fifth with 35 points and one game in hand—Wednesday’s fixture against the Sudanese giants. Matches face delays amide stadium power issues The Rwanda Premier League has also announced further schedule disruptions due to persistent power shortages at Kigali Pele Stadium. Among the affected fixtures is SC Kiyovu’s home match against Marines FC, initially slated for Tuesday, February 24. The City of Kigali temporarily closed the stadium the same day to address the electrical faults, forcing postponement of the encounter. Another impacted fixture is Al Merrikh SC versus AS Muhanga, originally scheduled for Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at 3:00 PM. The league body has deferred the match to a date yet to be confirmed. League officials say updates on the revised schedule will be communicated once the stadium’s power issues are fully resolved.
