Rwanda: SC Kiyovu Target First Trophy Since 2022 As Harrison Eyes Winning Start

[New Times] SC Kiyovu Sports will have the chance to end a four-year wait for major silverware when they face Police FC in the final of the FERWAFA Super Cup on Sunday at Kigali Pele Stadium.

Kiyovu Sports are set to face Police FC in the final of the FERWAFA Super Cup on Sunday at Kigali Pele Stadium, marking their first trophy since 2022. The Green Baggies secured their spot by defeating Mukura VS, while Police FC earned their place after beating Rayon Sports. This final holds significant meaning for Kiyovu, as it provides an opportunity to restore a winning culture under head coach Mark Harrison.

Since October 2022, when they won the inaugural Made in Rwanda Cup, the club has struggled with inconsistency and near misses, having not won the league title since 1993. Harrison, who previously coached Gor Mahia and Highlanders, aims to instill a winning mentality in his players from the outset of his tenure. He emphasizes the importance of competing and winning trophies, particularly at a club with a rich history like Kiyovu.

Harrison acknowledges Police FC's recent trophy wins, but believes his players' hunger to achieve something special can be a powerful motivator. The final offers Kiyovu a chance to bring joy to their supporters and reward their unwavering loyalty, providing a strong start to Harrison's reign and setting a positive tone for the upcoming season.
