Copa Coca-Cola Supports Development of School Football

Wed. June 24, 2009; Posted: 11:36 AM

Jun 24, 2009 (Focus Media/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- KO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Their participation was the result of the national Copa Coca-Cola, sponsored by the Coca-Cola Company and the local producer of the soft drink, Bralirwa, to the tune of Frw 10 million. The Copa is a tournament involving secondary schools countrywide, which was eventually won by APAER secondary school (Gasabo) who beat College Nazarene (Rubavu).

However, it did not end there for the two best players of the tournament, Jacques Cyubahiro and Idrissa Nsabimana (from the winners and the runners-up respectively), who were given a chance to attend a two-week football camp in Pretoria and participate in the Inter Africa Copa.

Cyubahiro, who was the top scorer with 8 goals in the Rwandan tournament, says he couldn't believe the news at first. "I thought it was only a rumor, but then it was by the school administration; I was so happy!"

And he has learnt a lot from the experience. "The players there were really good and they played very fast. But I got used to it and even managed to score 2 goals for my team," Cyubahiro says.

Idrissa Nsabimana also learned a lot. "Here we are used to playing long balls, but in South Africa the pace was very fast with a lot of passes, and attacks are slowly built up from the back," he explains

Bralirwa's commercial director Alexander Koch remarks that the Copa Coca-Cola aims to contribute to the development of youth through football, to encourage cultural exchanges among young people and to promote the values of sharing, optimism and effort as well as the Olympic values. Moreover, it is a way to support the development of school football and detect new talent in football.
