APR FC are fired up for Saturday’s semi-final showdown with Sudan’s Al Hilal SC, after topping Group B with an unbeaten run at the CECAFA Kagame Cup 2025.
The Rwandan military-backed champions collected 7 points from 3 games, including a commanding 3-0 win over Bumamuru FC and a dramatic 1-1 draw with KMC FC, edging their Tanzanian rivals on goal difference.
Ahead of the clash, APR FC received a strategic briefing from Rwandan Ambassador to Tanzania, Gen Patrick Nyavumba, as they look to repeat last year’s heroics when they beat Al Hilal 5-4 on penalties after a goalless semi-final.
Meanwhile, Al Hilal SC stormed into the last four with a 3-1 victory over Kator FC, and Mogadishu City Club SC secured a 2-1 win against Alahly Wad SC Madani to also reach the semis.
The second semi-final will see Singida Black Stars FC face KMC FC, setting up a mouth-watering Tanzanian derby.
The 2025 Kagame Cup, sponsored by Betika and supported by President Paul Kagame, offers US$30,000 for the winners, US$20,000 for runners-up, and US$10,000 for third place.
