Al Hilal, a major test
On Tuesday 3 November, Rayon Sports face Sudan’s Al Hilal in the BK Pro League. Kameni told The New Times: “It’s a big match, but we have to win.” He also stressed the difficulty: “We took three important points and now we have to stay resilient against Al Hilal, who are one of the big teams.”
The schedule leaves little respite, with another round of matches in midweek. For Kameni, it is important “to stay consistent in the league, to take each match as it comes and to stay focused”.
The fans’ passion as a boost
Ahead of the clash, the striker was keen to salute the supporters. “I want to thank our fans for the support they give us. I ask them to come back and support us, because they motivate us and give us confidence on the pitch,” he told The New Times.
Kameni and his teammates’ next assignment is therefore Tuesday against Al Hilal, before the international break during which Rwanda’s national team (Amavubi) return to action.
