The Rwandan side were knocked out by Mozambique’s Black Bulls in the second qualifying round, losing 4-2 on aggregate over two legs.
Speaking to Rayon Sports supporters who welcomed the team in Maputo on Saturday, October 24, Murenzi said the club would now focus on the domestic league, where winning the title remains a key target agreed upon by the management, coaching staff and players.
“It is difficult to compete on two fronts. Our players were very focused on these matches because they were important. Our commitment to the coach and his technical team, as well as to the players, is that we must win this season’s league title,” he said.
Rayon Sports return to the BK Pro League with ground to make up after several fixtures were postponed due to their participation in continental competition.
After six matchdays in the league, the club have played only twice, drawing against Sunrise FC and losing to Gorilla FC. They have one point and sit at the bottom of the standings.
Rayon Sports are expected to host Mukura VS in their next league fixture before travelling to face Marine FC. They will then visit Sudanese side Al Hilal SC.
The club, which plays in blue and white, last won the Rwandan league title in the 2018/19 season.
