Kigali, Rwanda – Rwanda Premier League side Police FC has confirmed the departure of six players whose contracts have expired, as the club begins restructuring ahead of the new season.
The law-enforcement-backed club announced that it has released Byiringiro Lague, Richard Kilongozi Bazombwa, Ani Elijah, Henry Msanga, Allan Kateregga, and Chimezie following the conclusion of their contracts.
The departures come after a challenging campaign in which Police FC finished fourth in the BK Pro League, falling short of its ambitions for the season.
Sources close to the club also indicate that changes could extend beyond the playing squad, with possible adjustments to the technical bench under consideration. However, the club’s management has not yet issued an official statement regarding the coaching staff.
Meanwhile, discussions are ongoing with several key players whose contracts have also expired. Among them are Nsabimana Eric “Zidane” and Ishimwe Christian, both of whom played important roles for the team throughout the season despite the club’s failure to achieve its major objectives.
Club officials are reportedly conducting a comprehensive assessment of other players whose contracts have ended to determine whether they will be offered new deals or allowed to leave.
The move signals the start of a rebuilding process at Police FC as the club seeks to strengthen its squad and improve its performance in the upcoming season. Further announcements regarding player retention, new signings, and possible coaching changes are expected in the coming weeks.
