“This agreement marks another significant step in elevating the Rwanda Premier League. Working with ProStar ensures that our clubs will compete using a reliable, premium-quality match ball that meets international standards,”
Karangwa said.
He added that the league is delighted to welcome a committed partner whose products will standardize equipment, improve match quality, and strengthen the professional framework of football across Rwanda.
For ProStar Sports International, this partnership represents a proud milestone not only for the company but also for Nigerian sports entrepreneurship on the African stage.
ProStar CEO Paul Maduakor, a respected Nigerian sports executive, expressed excitement about expanding the company’s footprint into East Africa.
“Partnering with the Rwanda Premier League is an exciting opportunity. We are committed to delivering top-quality match balls that support the league’s growth and provide players with the best possible playing experience,”
Maduakor stated.
The official RPL match ball will feature advanced performance technology and a design inspired by Rwanda’s vibrant cultural identity and will make its league debut in early 2026.
The partnership stands as a powerful statement of ProStar’s growing influence in African sports manufacturing and highlights a shared commitment to advancing football standards across the continent.
