The cancellation of the season surprised top clubs, especially Kiyovu Sports Club, who had invested a lot in their bid to win the league title.
The club spent over Rwf200 million to build a strong team in the transfer window as well as in the pre-season camp and payment of salaries.
“We made long-term investments and we are at loss already,” Kiyovu SC president Juvenal Mvukiyehe told
The New Times. “You can imagine the money we invested for this season but such a decision comes all of a sudden, without even informing us beforehand.”
Mvukiyehe said only the affected clubs should have been isolated from the league proceedings.
