Week seven of the 2024/25 Rwanda Premier League will get underway on Friday, October 25 at various match venues, featuring a number of exciting fixtures.

At Kigali Pele Stadium on Friday, high flying Gorilla FC and Amagaju United will be rubbing shoulders.

Gorilla are 4th on the table, having won three, drawn two, and lost only once in six games. The team’s coach, Alain Kirasa, has built a strong group around skipper Victor Murdah who has been its engine.

Amagaju has been fearsome in attack, led by Seraphin Kiza, the current top scorer of the league with 4 goals from 6 games. The team has already pulled a surprise this season at Kigali Pele Stadium as they came from behind to draw 2-2 with Rayon Sports despite having red card.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, Vision FC will be aiming to pick their first win of the season when they host Marines FC in an early kick-off at Kigali Pele Stadium.

Struggling Kiyovu Sports, which hasn’t won a game since defeating AS Kigali 2-1 on the opening day, will be hoping to get back on track when it entertains an equally poor Bugesera FC at Kigali Pele Stadium.

Mukura Victory Sports will travel to Ngoma Stadium to face Muhazi United who picked their first win of the season last week against Rutsiro.

Mukura will be relying on their prolific striker Agyenim Boateng Mensah who has netted thrice in 3 consecutive games.

At Umuganda Stadium Stadium in Rubavu, Rutsiro FC under the tutelage of veteran gaffer Moussa Gatera will host Gasogi United in a game which could go either way.

The games between AS Kigali and Police, Rayon Sports and Etincelles, Musanze vs APR have all been postponed as their players are currently engaged with national team duty at the CHAN qualifiers.
