The meeting occurred on Thursday, July 26, 2024, before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, which bring together over 10,000 athletes from various sports disciplines.
'President Infantino and President Kagame met at FIFA's new offices in Paris 'to discuss ongoing cooperation and new opportunities to further develop football in Rwanda,' reads a statement from the President's office.
During the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games, Rwanda is represented by eight individuals who will compete in cycling, athletics, swimming, and fencing.
