Speaking to Times Sport, club president Nehemie Uwimana admits that they owe salaries to the players, adding that the management is doing everything they can to pay them soon.
"That&039;s true, we have their two-month salary arrears. I can't say that we will pay them today or tomorrow because we are also waiting for the money we receive from the District as our main sponsor, but we hope it doesn’t take long," Uwimana said in a telephone interview.
Rwamagana are 12th on the table with 26 points, seven points above the relegation zone.
The club has had an impressive Peace Cup campaign, beating Kiyovu Sports 3-2 in the quarter finals first leg at Ngoma stadium on Wednesday.
