Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Jean de Dieu Mayira said that the new signed players include the pair of Bertrand Iradukunda and David Nzabanita both from Bugesera FC; Mustapha Nsengiyumva and Fiston Munezero both from Rayon Sports, and Issa Zapy Ishimwe.

CIP Mayira also said that Olivier Usabimana, who has been on loan in Marine FC, has been recalled.

“Last season, the club showcased a relative good performance in comparison with previous seasons, but we want to go far beyond just second place to winning trophies in the coming season, and ensure impressive performance even in continental tournaments,” Mayira said.

Meanwhile, the Police FC spokesperson also disclosed that the club has also released five players. They include two-time league top-scorer, Danny Usengimana, who joined Singhida FC of Tanzania.

“There are other players we are still scouting other players, but we are also considering sending some of our players to gain experience in other clubs, which have already formalized their interest in these players,” Mayira said.

He further said that they are in talks with some members of the coaching staff, whose contracts expired to renew them.

Others, whose contracts expired, are Robert Ndatimana, Hegman Ngomirakiza, Japhet Imurora and Jean Paul Uwihoreye.
