APR FC (Armée Patriotique Rwandaise Football Club) has once again asserted its dominance in Rwandan football by clinching their 14th national league title—and their 11th since 2000—demonstrating their long-standing superiority in the domestic game. The championship was hard-fought and dramatic, with APR edging out their fierce rivals Rayon Sports by just two points in the final moments of the season.
While Rayon Sports may boast a larger fanbase, APR’s consistent success is underpinned by its financial strength and institutional support. Their home at Amahoro Stadium consistently draws strong crowds, and the club’s ability to maintain top talent has been key to its sustained success.
Veterans like Elias Ntaganda and Jimmy Gatete, who hold the records for appearances and goals respectively, remain iconic figures in APR’s history and symbols of the club’s deep football heritage.
