Rayon Sports FC has revealed that it has already spent Rwf 10 million on medical treatment for injured players during the 2024/2025 football season. The club is among the teams that have been heavily affected by player injuries this season, forcing the management to invest significant funds in healthcare.
Several key players sidelined by injuries
Rayon Sports has suffered a series of injuries since the start of the season. The first major setback involved Ndikumana Asman, who suffered an arm injury and underwent surgery. He was later joined by Tambwe Gloire, Bigirimana Abedi, and Aziz Bassane, who also sustained an arm injury.
More recently, Youssou Diagne was added to the list of injured players after suffering a similar injury. These players have increased the club’s medical expenses significantly.
They also join Fall Ngagne, who has been sidelined since last season and is yet to fully recover, continuing to affect the team’s squad depth.
Club official explains the medical expenses
Speaking on the issue, Gakwaya Olivier, a member of Rayon Sports’ Transitional Committee, who also serves as the club’s Technical Director and Spokesperson, confirmed the amount spent so far.
“We have players who get injured frequently, and all this requires money. As we speak now, we have already spent around Rwf 10 million on medical treatment for injured players,” he said.
Rayon Sports plans long-term medical insurance solution
Gakwaya explained that the club is working toward a long-term solution to avoid recurring medical costs that strain the club’s budget.
“We are currently in discussions with different medical insurance companies so that all players and staff can receive treatment under health insurance coverage,” he added.
According to him, the club’s goal is to ensure that every Rayon Sports employee and player is covered by medical insurance in the near future.
Protecting the club’s finances
The introduction of medical insurance is expected to help Rayon Sports reduce unplanned medical expenses and protect the club’s financial stability. The money saved will then be redirected toward player development, team performance, and overall club growth.
This move is seen as a positive step toward professional financial management in Rwandan football, especially as clubs continue to face challenges related to player injuries.
