Rwanda football national team “Amavubi stars” entered residential camp today to prepare the 2023 AFCON qualifiers match against Mozambique that is set to take place at Huye International Stadium on 18th June 2023.
After forfeit against Benin, Amavubi stars will be looking to overcome Mozambique and bag three points to restore the country’s hopes of qualifying to the AFCON finals in Cote d’Ivoire in January 2024.
