Paris Saint Germain (PSG), the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) through its project \u201cVisit Rwanda\u201d and the Ministry of Sports proceeded this Saturday, November 27, 2021, to the official opening of the Rwandan Academy of Paris Saint Germain \u201cPSG\u201d at the international stadium of Huye. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This academy starts with 172 children aged between 7 and 14 years.\u00a0 Among them, 62 girls and 110 boys. They were selected from 38 schools in the Huye district, both primary and secondary. They say they generally have a great passion for football.<\/p>\n

John Smith Nduwayezu, aged 13, is enrolled in secondary 2 at the Elena Guerra School Centre. He was selected to attend football classes. \u201cI was overjoyed when I was admitted to the PSG Rwanda Academy,\u201d he says. \u201cMy parents also received the news well,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Since his early childhood, John Smith has always had a passion for football. \u201cBeing part of the PSG Rwandan Academy is a chance for me to become a famous player like Nehemar,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Passion for football, one of the selection criteria <\/strong><\/p>\n

This Rwandan PSG Academy, officially launched on Saturday, has been operational for six months. As a first step, it has acquired leaders. It also proceeded to the selection of these young people.<\/p>\n

This action was conducted jointly by PSG leaders, the Rwanda Amateur Football Federation (FERWAFA) and the Rwanda Ministry of Sports, according to Gr\u00e2ce Nyinawumuntu, technical director of the Rwanda PSG academy.<\/p>\n

The criteria taken into consideration are among others the passion of these children for football, the control of the ball, the commitment to the field as well as the endurance of these young people during training and friendly matches between them.<\/p>\n

Rationale for choosing Huye as the headquarters\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the general manager of PSG\u2019s international academies, Ms. Nadia Benmokhtar, the choice of Huye is motivated by several elements.\u00a0 \u201cHuye has a greater number of schools and certain infrastructures, notably the Huye International Stadium,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The Rwandan PSG academy differs from the 17 others in the world. These are in the hands of private investors. All children enrolled pay. \u201cBut in Rwanda, the selected children will study for free,\u201d says Nadia Benmokhtar. \u201cAll costs will be covered by PSG and the Government of Rwanda through RDB via its \u2018Visit Rwanda\u2019 project, to enable all talented children from different social classes to study without exception,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n

Apart from this objective of training young people, the Secretary General at the Ministry of Sports, Didier Shema Maboko, adds that of developing nurseries. \u201cThe establishment of this Rwandan PSG Academy will help the Ministry of Sports in its policy to develop nurseries for young Rwandan footballers. It will limit the number of foreign players recruited at an exorbitant cost,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In early December 2019, the PSG football team forged a partnership with the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), through its Visit Rwanda program. All this, stressed the French Ambassador to Rwanda, Antoine Anfr\u00e9, is the result of the renewal of good cooperation between the two countries, France and Rwanda.<\/p>\n
