The decision was announced on Monday, February 23, 2026, alongside updates for two other fixtures. The Rayon Sports\u2013Al Hilal SC match had previously been postponed because Al Hilal SC was competing in the final stages of Group C in the CAF Champions League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game was initially rescheduled for Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at Stade Amahoro at 6:00 PM. However, it was later shifted to Kigali Pel\u00e9 Stadium and brought forward to 3:00 PM due to recurring lighting issues, which the league cited as stemming from ongoing electricity supply problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Kiyovu Sports vs. Marine FC match, originally set for Tuesday, February 24, 2026, has been postponed because Kigali Pel\u00e9 Stadium will be closed. A new date for the match will be communicated in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another fixture affected is Al Merrikh SC vs. AS Muhanga, scheduled for Wednesday, February 25, 2026, at 3:00 PM, with the rescheduled date yet to be announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the league table is led by Al Hilal SC with 41 points, narrowly ahead of Al Merrikh SC, which trails by just one point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
