Sophie TCHATCHOUA, the Managing Director of CANAL+ Rwanda, expressed her delight in renewing the partnership with the most popular football club in Rwanda. She described the past two years as a great success for both sides. We are very pleased to continue our partnership with Rayon Sports. The past two years have been a success, and that's why we decided to extend for one more year, said TCHATCHOUA. Rayon Sports, known for having the largest fan base in the country, with an estimated three million supporters, has been striving to leverage this support to attract corporate sponsorships. Jean Fidel Uwayezu, the Chairman of Rayon Sports, spoke about the club's financial stability and the need for consistent revenue to support their projects. When I took on the role of club president, three years ago, our first ambition was to ensure the financial stability of our team. “Rayon Sports, being a fans-owned team, needs its reliable source of revenue, Uwayezu stated during a press conference on Friday. Rayon Sports recently announced a budget of approximately Rwf1 billion for the 2023/24 season. Uwayezu said that the new contract with CANAL+Rwanda is worth more than the previous one although specific details were kept confidential. I can't specifically mention the exact worth of this new contract due to confidentiality reasons, but what I can say is that it's bigger than last year, said Uwayezu. In addition to financial support, CANAL+Rwanda provides subscriptions for 45 Rayon Sports first-team players and committee members, as well as decoders and other equipment. Festive season CANAL+ Rwanda is offering some amazing festive season promotions! They have lowered the price of their decoders to just Rwf5,000, and that includes all the accessories like antennas, cables, and remote controls. For the first time, CANAL+Rwanda is also giving existing clients a 30-day bonus to access all channels when they renew their Canal bouquet. That means you get even more entertainment during the festive season.
