Sophie Tchatchoua, the Managing Director of Canal + Rwanda said this aims at availing content to all Rwandans, regardless their affordability. 

"We know that Amavubi will not be part of the contestants, but we are sure Rwandans are supporting this league of fellow Africans, so we are doing this to allow the Rwandans to follow the matches from home,” she noted.
