00:00 Honourable Minister of Sport, Honourable Mayor of the City of Kigali,
00:10 Dear Legends, Distinguished Guests,
00:17 Rwandan Football Federation is extremely delighted to host our Legends throughout the week.
00:27 This is the national kick-off edition of the Legends in Rwanda World Tour that will go
00:35 through 11 countries around the world in order to promote the Veteran Club World Championship
00:45 which will take place in Rwanda from the 10th to the 20th of May 2024.
00:55 As the host organisation in charge of developing football in our country but also ensuring
01:03 it contributes to the sustainable development of our country, this project caught our attention
01:12 for the following reasons.
01:16 We have a board project which is the renovation of the Amahoro Stadium that will match international
01:23 standards and be able to host up to 45,000 people.
01:32 Its delivery is scheduled for March 2024 and who better than our beloved Legends to be
01:39 the first to inaugurate this stadium through the World Cup Championship Tournament.
01:52 From 1994 to 2024, Rwanda will be celebrating the 30th anniversary of its liberation.
02:09 Thanks to our leadership, this has been 30 years of rebuilding our nation on human, social,
02:18 cultural and economic level.
02:22 VCWC which is set to bring over 5,000 people to Rwanda would therefore be an amazing way
02:32 to invite the Rwandan diaspora, Africans and the world to come and celebrate with us.
02:41 With VCWC, our young girls and boys will be able to learn from the most experienced athletes.
02:52 Every sport game has a winner and a loser as you know.
02:56 Yet, it takes both winning and losing to be a good champion.
03:07 We are therefore convinced that hosting over 150 sport veterans in our country will clearly
03:13 contribute to building a new generation of champions.
03:18 So thank you to the International Veteran Football Association for choosing Rwanda.
03:26 We are fully committed to ensuring that the first edition is done properly.
03:38 Thank you all leaders for demonstrating your interest with your presence here today and
03:44 we hope this will obviously follow with tangible commitment.
03:51 Finally, dear legends, thank you for accepting to be part of us and to be involved in this
03:59 kick-off.
04:00 Welcome to Rwanda once again.
04:04 This place should be considered as your home from now.
04:10 Thank you very much.
04:11 [Applause]
