Two Rayon Sports right-backs, Obed Uwumukiza and Emmanuel Nshimiyimana, suffered injuries during the team’s training camp in Gicumbi District.

Rayon Sports has now completed one week of pre-season training in preparation for the 2026/2027 football season. The team is currently holding its training camp in Gicumbi District at the newly completed stadium.

Rayon Sports head coach Francis Haringingo began training with a squad of 23 players, including five youngsters promoted from the club’s youth academy, established Rwandan players, and foreign players who had already arrived in Rwanda.

During the training sessions, two Rayon Sports defenders, Emmanuel Nshimiyimana and Obedi Uwumukiza, sustained minor injuries. The club stated that the injuries are not serious, but they prevented the two players from featuring in a friendly match between the senior team and the club’s Under-20 side.

The friendly match was played on Sunday, July 5, 2026. Didier Nshuti, who recently joined the club from Gorilla FC, started at right-back. The senior team defeated the Under-20 team 7-1. Several new signings were involved, including foreign defenders led by Charles Tchouplaou.

On Monday, Rayon Sports also welcomed additional foreign signings to training, including Ibrahim Djingarey, Boris Gbenou, and Issa Djiguiba. Other expected arrivals on Tuesday include Tony Kitoga, Ndikumana Asmane, and Atisso Kodjo.

The club is preparing for the 2026 CECAFA tournament, which will begin on July 24, 2026, in Rwanda. Rayon Sports is also preparing for Rayon Day, scheduled for July 18, 2026, at Amahoro Stadium.
