Azam FC will play APR FC in the preliminary round the 2024/25 CAF Champions League and their friendly match against the Blues will not only serve as a good test to prepare the Rwandan champions but to also get used to the weather in Kigali.

The Blues, who are marking the seventh Rayon Day edition in a row, will use the game against the Tanzanians to test their new players and get back to regular playing rhythm ahead of the 2024/25 football season.

The club’s new signings include Ghanaian James Akaminko, who was playing for Azam FC, Patient Ndikuriyo, Fitina Omborenga, Richard Ndayishimiye, Omar Gning, Olivier 'Seif' Niyonzima, Fiston Ishimwe, Emmanuel Nshimiyimana, Abdul Rahman Rukundo, Haruna Niyonzima and Prinsse Elenga-Kanga and Adama Bagayogo.

The latter scored an equalizer during Blues’ 1-1 draw against Gorilla FC at Kigali Pele Stadium on Saturday.
