APR have forfeited their game against Gorilla that was held at Kigali Pele Stadium due to violating the rule that regulates the maximum number of foreign players allowed to feature in the Rwanda Premier League.
The league title holder breached the rule during their scoreless draw against Gorilla on Sunday, 3 November, when they played with seven foreign players in the second half although the rule allowed only six.
Gorilla immediately submitted a complaint to Rwanda’s football federation (FERWAFA) after the game, requesting that APR be accountable for exceeding the foreign player limit.

After committing this malpractice, the Rwanda military-owned side have begun to punish some of their officials such as Team Manager Eric Ntazinda, who was suspended on Tuesday.
