Sports in Rwanda:

The development of sport in Rwanda has taken a few positive turns for the Country. The Country has in recent years become a strong competitor in soccer at regional competitions both at club level and the Rwandan National team. Soccer is the most popular sport in the Country and major clubs in the Country include; Rayon Sport and the Rwandan Patriotic Army.

Rwanda signified its return on the international soccer scene when it hosted and won the East and Central African Championship in 1999. Since then teams have learnt not to overlook the Rwandans. The team though is yet to make an impact on a larger scale and has yet to qualify for the Africa Nations Cup.
