The event featured competitive matches among the participants, allowing coaches to evaluate and identify the most promising players.
Shining Football Academy claimed victory in the Under-9 category, while FTPR Lions Academy secured the overall title, outperforming other academies, including Agaciro Football Academy, Centre Gikondo, and Esperance Football Academy.
The selected twelve will travel to England next week, supported by Green Hills Academy and Kigali International Community School.
