"Our plan is to promote sports. We (City of Kigali) have contracts with AS Kigali, SC Kiyovu, AS Kigali women football club and now with Gasogi United," said the Mayor.

Ribingisa also acknowledged that they're going to start engaging other clubs in different sports disciplines starting with Kigali Volleyball Club and Espoir Basketball Club.
