Paris Saint-Germain Academy Rwanda prepares for launch

As part of a unifying project that plays a role in the development of football in Rwanda, Paris Saint-Germain Academy Rwanda will welcome its first promotion from September 2021.

Staring from 21 June 2021, the PSG-Academy coaching team have embarked on a journey looking for the top 200 players in Huye district. In August, the coaches will make a final selection before the official launch of the academy. These children will have the opportunity to train throughout the season in a Rwandan top-tier stadium under the supervision of coaches trained on the methodology of the French capital based club.

The first intake will be defined by detections made by the Academy’s team of coaches, in 30 schools from Huye district to allow as many children as possible, boys and girls, to get this opportunity. In total, nearly 2,000 children will be observed, including nearly 500 girls.

Beyond the detections, the coaches’ tour presents an opportunity to unite an entire region around the project, to develop football and its values in Rwanda.(End)
