The Rwandese Association Football Federation (FERWAFA) has elected a new president to lead the organization for the next four years. Shema Fabrice, a seasoned businessman and former president of Kigali, was elected as the 16th president of FERWAFA during the Ordinary General Assembly held in Kigali.
Shema won a decisive victory, securing a near-unanimous vote with 51 of the 53 members voting in his favor. None opposed his candidacy. He assumes the role alongside eight members of his leadership team, succeeding Alphonse Munyantwali, who has been at the helm of FERWAFA since June 2023.
With his election, Shema is expected to bring a new vision and leadership approach to Rwandan football, building on his experience in club administration and business management to foster growth and development within the sport.
