Rwandan stadiums, the brand new refuge of Sudanese soccer in exile

Pressured into exile by the battle tearing its nation aside since April 2023, Sudanese soccer has discovered an surprising new house… in Kigali. The nation’s two largest golf equipment, Al-Hilal and Al-Merrikh, have been invited to hitch the Rwandan Premier League for the 2025–2026 season. It’s an unprecedented determination by Rwanda’s Soccer Federation, backed by the African Confederation, simply because the match will get underway. Rwanda, which has made sport a pillar of its diplomacy, is positioning itself as a haven for competitors in Africa – a lot to the delight of the numerous Sudanese refugees residing within the nation.
