The Rwanda national football team represents Rwanda in international football and is controlled by the Rwandese Association Football Federation, the governing body of football in Rwanda, and competes as a member of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), as well as the Council for East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA), a CAF sub-confederation that governs football in East and Central Africa. The team bears the nickname Amavubi (Kinyarwanda for The Wasps), and primarily plays its home games at the Stade Amahoro in Kigali, the nation's capital. They have never qualified for a World Cup finals, and reached their only Africa Cup of Nations in 2004.

History

Rwanda qualified for its first ever Africa Cup of Nations in the 2004 edition. At the tournament, they lost their opening match 2–1 to Tunisia before winning their first ever point in the competition after a 1–1 draw against Guinea. Rwanda went on to beat DR Congo in their final group match by a 1–0 scoreline, but it wasn't enough, as elsewhere in the group, Guinea and Tunisia drew, meaning both teams progressed to the quarter-finals, and Rwanda were eliminated.

The Rwanda national soccer team, often referred to as "Amavubi," which translates to "The Wasps" in Kinyarwanda, represents the country in international football competitions. Established in 1970, the team has made significant strides in African football, showcasing a blend of talent, determination, and resilience.

Amavubi's colors are predominantly yellow, green, and blue, reflecting the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Rwanda. The team plays its home matches at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, a venue that resonates with passionate local support.

Rwanda has participated in various regional tournaments, including the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the CECAFA Cup, where they have demonstrated their competitive spirit and skill on the field. The team is known for its strong work ethic, tactical discipline, and the ability to unite the nation through the love of football.

In recent years, Rwanda has focused on developing its youth programs and enhancing its domestic league to nurture homegrown talent. With a commitment to growth and improvement, the Rwanda national soccer team aims to make its mark on the continental stage and inspire future generations of Rwandan footballers.
