It is a match that took place on Monday, November 18, 2024, at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Nigeria. The Tigers were expected to win, and they did, but Libya did not beat Benin, causing the Tigers to be dismissed. Benin gets a ticket to play these final games in Morocco.
Some of the sports journalists here in Rwanda, expressed their feelings, on the production of Amavubi and coach Frank Spittler Torsten, through the social media like, X 'Twitter'.
Hitimana Claude, journalist of Radio TV10, returned to the production of trainer Frank Spittler Torsten,
"This Coach Spittler makes the big things easy.
Draw with Nigeria in Kigali and win at home, remove 4 points from Libya and remove a point! If you compete with Zimbabwe, who have been punished by FIFA for a long time, will you beat South Africa? Benin and win it first!" he concluded with a sad gesture.
Kazungu Clever, a journalist of Radio Fine FM, returned to the behavior of the Tigers, in front of Nigeria, and continued on the Libya game, which would have given an opportunity.
He said, “Nigeria was surprised by what the Tigers did because they were very confident of winning!!!
Losing to Libya easily in the group at home at Amahoro Stadium, is what prevented us from going to CAN 2025 Morocco!!"
Journalist IMFURAYACU Jean Luc, of B&B Kigali FM, presented the history made by Amavubi and ended by asking his followers if coach Frank Trosten deserves a contract.
He said, "For the first time in the history of Rwanda's national team, Amavubi got 8 points in Afconq
But it doesn't matter. We are dismissed...
Coach Frank Trosten, should your contract be extended?
Yes or No?"
Reporter Ephrem Kayiranga, of ISHUSHO TV, said, "Although: Rwanda lost the CAN 2025 ticket, it falls under the roof
Some of his discourses will not be well received
But: Frank Spiltler deserves a contract extension as Tigers coach."
Let continue to, Reporter Rigoga Ruth, from RBA, focused on the coach's behavior, saying, "It made the ball famous. So where we were hoping for success he hated it, where we didn't he did it.
Give us her flowers?
The campaign ended with 8 points
Do tigers fall under the house"
Rayon Sports spokesperson Ngaboyicondo Roben, who expressed his pride in Amavubi, points out that having players outside of Rwanda is the answer.
He said, "We didn’t qualify 4 AFCON, but we showed them what Rwanda can do.
With top players abroad like Djihad, Ange, Jojea, Buhake, Thierry & Fiacre, Amavubi is no longer RPL-based.
We’ve improved a lot but still have work to do. Players are on another level.
Coach’s New Contract?"
Let's share the feelings of some of the sports journalists here in Rwanda, Kayishema Thierry, a journalist of Rwanda Television who showed what Amavubi was required to do to get a ticket to go to the African Cup.
He said, "Tiger had to manage the draw from Libya with Benin, while the ticket would be available only if Libya wins.
20 years have passed since Rwanda did not return to the African Cup of Nations and will have to wait until 2027 for the cup to be held in Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya."
Rwanda's national team, Wolves last played in the Africa Cup of Nations in 2004 and that was the only time they played it, and Wolves will have to wait for the African Cup in 2027 to see if they can return there again.
