ATRACO players have been promised large bonuses should they win an unprecedented treble this season. The club administration has promised to dish out big money if Sam Timbe’s troops can add the league title and MTN Peace Cup to the Cecafa/Kagame Club Championship trophy that they won earlier this month in Sudan.

Although the club chairman Col. (Rtd) Ludovic Twahirwa (Dodo) chose not to give details about the bonuses, he affirmed the package will be big.

"We have not yet agreed on the amount but it will definitely be significant,” he said.

Atraco players are reportedly to have pocketed $4000 (Rwf 2.3M) for their Cecafa/Kagame Cup triumph.

Atraco increased their chances of a treble last Sunday when they stormed the final of the MTN Peace Cup after dislodging rivals Rayon Sport.

The taxi-men side progressed in style after a compelling 5-1 aggregate win in the two-legged semi-final.

The league title is also within reach for Sam Timbe’s troops who wind up their league campaign this afternoon with a clash against lowly Marine at Amahoro stadium.
