The men’s national team, the Amavubi, will face Estonia in a decisive FIFA Series 2026 match on Monday, following a dominant 4-0 victory over Grenada at Amahoro Stadium.
The win marked a historic moment for Rwanda, as it was the first time the national team faced an opponent from outside Africa. Grenada, representing the Caribbean, also experienced an international first, making the fixture a landmark for both nations.
The match was a display of Rwanda’s attacking flair from the outset. Djihad Bizimana, Mickels Leroy-Jacques, and Biramahire Abeddy repeatedly tested Grenada’s defense, while Kwizera Olivier in goal was largely untroubled. Leroy-Jacques opened the scoring early, and Kwizera Jojea doubled the advantage in added time before halftime. Bizimana then added a third goal midway through the second half, with Hakim Sahabo rounding off the scoring to secure a 4-0 victory.
Tomorrow, all eyes will be on Kigali as Rwanda faces Estonia. This game will decide whether the hosts can maintain their unbeaten run and advance to the later stages of the tournament. The Amavubi have shown impressive cohesion and attacking prowess, but Estonia will provide a stern test, having been competitive in their previous fixtures.
Rwanda’s head coach Stephen Constantine has hinted at possible lineup adjustments, aiming to balance attacking ambition with defensive stability. Fans are expected to turn out in force at Amahoro Stadium, continuing the vibrant support that has characterized the series so far.
With momentum firmly on their side, the Amavubi will be looking to make history once again, this time by securing victory over a European opponent and cementing their status as rising stars on the international stage.
