Elsewhere, Rayon Sport who got a bye into the first round will face Marines, Kiyovu face Musanze, Electrogaz will play against Muhanga while Amagaju will host Etincelles in the first leg.

In 2009, the package saw clubs competing for a total prize money of Rwf23m with the winner (Atraco) pocketing Rwf10m, Rwf5m more than what APR bagged in 2008 when they won the competition. Ends
