{CHAN tournament which was held for 21 days in Rwanda has impacted a number of people\u2019s earnings for providing goods and services about the stadiums or near residences of CHAN participants. } <\/p>\n

Rekeraho Pascal, 28, a painter of houses, spotted an opportunity and jumped aboard face-painting of football fans. For the 21 days that the tournament took place Rekeraho could earn an average of Rwf60,000 from the service per day. He had never thought about such a business but was inspired when he realized that other people were minting money from face-painting when he attended the match of Amavubi vs Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n

Talking to IGIHE, he said \u201cI had bought the ticket of watching Amavubi. When I reached Amahoro stadium I found that there was a job opportunity of drawing flags on fans. I immediately bought materials and started the job. I didn\u2019t get a chance to watch the match since I had many clients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rekeraho says that he could face-paint over 60 fans a day, adding that each fan would pay Rwf 1000 or 700 depending on the desired design. Rekeraho says, he was surprised as he didn\u2019t expect to get such opportunities from CHAN. Though he would get few clients during some matches, he says he will never forget the match of Amavubi vs Leopards from DRC in the quarter finals for the overwhelming number of clients he received. <\/p>\n

\u201cI wished to stay the whole night at the match of Rwanda vs Congo. Both Rwanda and Congo had many fans that paid much money. Even though I can\u2019t say exactly the number of fans I painted, they were above 100,\u201dhe said.<\/p>\n

He lauds good governance which attracted CHAN to Rwanda since it brought unusual chances expected to impact his future.<\/p>\n
