Expulsion, relegation among coronavirus penalties for non-compliant Rwandan clubs

Football Association of Rwanda (Ferwafa) has revealed tougher coronavirus regulations would be taken before football activities resume.

The government suspended football actions after the Covid-19 cases surged and the suspension step was taken on December 12 after the domestic league had begun on December 4.

According to The New Times, the move to suspend the league, after only four games had been played, was taken after some clubs faked Covid-19 results while others took the guidelines lightly.
