We have already issued tenders and the master plan will be available in a few days ,\u201d said   FERWAFA Secretary General, Uwayezu Fran\u00e7ois R\u00e9gis. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have written to the management of Rutsiro FC, Gicumbi FC and Espoir FC to explain their role during the development of these playgrounds. These are among first pitches identified by FERWAFA to set up modern playgrounds,\u201d added Uwayezu.  <\/p>\n<p>He explained that the main purpose is to develop many playgrounds without full dependence on FIFA budget but rather get more funding from partners of these teams.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiscussions are on good progress.  FIFA is ready to provide funding by the time we will submit a complete proposal of the project,\u201d noted Uwayezu.  <\/p>\n<p>The decision to develop 10 playgrounds across the country at a cost of Rwf 2 billion was taken during FERWAFA General Assembly held on 5th May 2019 in Musanze.   <\/p>\n<p>FERWAFA has decided to inject funds into this project to implement FIFA Forward 2.0 initiative aimed at promoting football whereby US$ 2 million (almost Rwf 2 billion) donated by FIFA will cater for the upgrading of playgrounds.  <\/p>\n<p>FERWAFA seeks to spend Rwf 1.96 million to cater for development of playgrounds in 2021 budget. The federation wants 40% of the budget covered by partners of selected football teams. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-37530 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ikibuga_cya_gicumbi_fc_kiri_mu_bizubakwa_muri_uyu_mwaka.jpg\" alt=\"Gicumbi football pitch is among infrastructures to be upgraded in 2021.  \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Three districts including Rutsiro, Gicumbi and Rusizi are set to get developed football infrastructures in 2021 through a Rwf 2 billion project run by Rwanda Football Federation (FERWAFA).}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-42586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sports","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42586","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42586\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42586"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=42586"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=42586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
