Rwanda national team head coach Vincent Mashami has included Ugandan based defender Denis Rukundo in Amavubi Stars 34-man squad to play in two friend games against Central African Republic.

Rukundo features for Uganda Premier League side Police FC.

The former KCCA and Maroons right back featured for Rwanda’s APR and Kiyovu Sports (on loan) between 2017 and 2019.

He was linked to a return to the Rwanda Premier League at the start of the current season but negotiations to join Rayon Sports didn’t materialize.

The Amavubi Stars will play two games against Central African Republic on June 4th and 7th at the Peace Stadium in preparation for the forthcoming FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

It should be noted that the Amavubi Stars are pitted in the same qualification group with Uganda. They will open their campaign in September against Mali before facing Kenya.
