The Rwandan federation said that Croatian coach Tucak Branko had named a provisional 27-man squad ahead of a friendly versus DR Congo on June 30th.

However, a host of the Amavubi squad members didn’t make the squad as APR Rwanda players stayed with their club.

APR beat Muzinga of Burundi 3-0 this week in the first game of the East African Military Games and more than ten Rwanda players were present.

Minnows Rwanda will face a tough test against Egypt on July 5th, as the African champions are in a must-win situation in Group C.
