Rwanda
Football Federation (Ferwafa) has announced that the 4 star hotel it is
set to start constructing will host some teams during the African
Nations Championship (Chan) next year.
Fifa
will provide Rwf2bn ($2,896,640) grant which is half the budget as part
of the Fifa Goal project development programme aimed at helping
developing countries establish infrastructure and facilities towards the
growth of the game. According to the Ferwafa president Vincent Degaule
Nzamwita, the hotel will be fourstoreyed with 88 rooms and will be built
on the piece of land next to the Ferwafa headquarters in Remera,
currently occupied by Rwanda Police. Construction is set to start next
month as the football governing body awaits Rwanda Police to shift so
that work can commence in order to beat the December deadline. The hotel
is expected to reduce on the expenses that the Ministry of Sports
spends on national teams during residential training or visiting
national teams. Fifa has sponsored several projects in Rwanda including
the construction of the Ferwafa Headquaters in Remera, which was the
first project in 2001. Six years later, the Fifa Goal Bureau supported
the installation of an artificial turf at the technical centre to help
improve the facility used by several teams for training. The Goal
Project also saw the installation of an artificial turf at the Muhanga
stadium in 2011, an initiative that has enabled the facility to host
domestic league and cup games.
