On Saturday, January 10, 2026, FERWAFA held its Annual General Assembly, which started at 16:21 local time under the leadership of FERWAFA President Shema Ngoga Fabrice. During the assembly, Hakizimana Louis was re-elected as the head of the Referees Commission. Louis had previously served as interim commissioner for several months, and his formal reappointment comes with high expectations from clubs and members of the football community. FERWAFA Secretary Bonnie Mugabe began the assembly by checking the attendance of all members to ensure quorum. Notably, seven members were absent, including The Winners FC, Interforce, and Gorilla FC. Several football stakeholders have urged Hakizimana to guarantee fair and transparent refereeing, free from controversy. Charles, President of Alpha FC, emphasized the importance of impartiality, stating, “The whistle should never favor anyone or become a reason for unfair defeat. Football is our most cherished asset, something we invest in passionately. Louis, your task is not easy, but we hope you will do everything possible so that next time we meet, we can applaud your work.” Hakizimana’s reappointment comes at a critical moment for Rwandan football, as the sport seeks to strengthen officiating standards and restore trust among clubs, referees, and fans.
