Fifa has set a Regional Development Office in Kigali, Rwanda in their bid to boost their long-term development of football in the East African region.
Fifa president Gianni Infantino oversaw the opening ceremony in Rwanda's capital in the company of Vincent Biruta who is the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in Rwanda, Sports Minister Aurore Mimosa Munyangaju, and Jean-Damascene Sekamana who is the president of the Rwanda Football Association (Ferwafa).
"I would like to thank President Paul Kagame and the Rwandan government for facilitating the opening of this office, as it sets the scene for us at Fifa level to be able to help all the associations at the regional level to develop football," Infantino said in part of his speech obtained by Goal.
