Jean Marie Ntagwabira, a former coach of Rayon Sport and Amavubi has been handed a five year ban from football activities after he was found guilty of match-fixing.
Football governing body Ferwafa Sec. Gen. Michel Gasingwa said, “After reviewing final remarks from the ethics and legal committee, Ferwafa has decided to ban Ntagwabira from any coaching roles at club and country level for a period of five years.”
“Issa Kayinamura, who helped him execute the match-fixing scandal is also banned from attending any football venue in Rwanda for a period of five years,” added Gasigwa.
Gasingwa said that the decision was reached after hearing from Ntagwabira, Kayinamura and the legal commission.
On July 6 Ntagwabira confessed to bribing Rayon players to eject a league match against SC Kiyovu in 2009, which he coached at the time.
Ntagwabira said he used Kayinamura to bribe some players to underperform in an encounter that ended 3-2 in favour of Kiyovu.
