PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) — Rhode Island FC midfielder Jojea Kwizera has once again been called up to play for the Rwandan Football Federation Men’s National Team.

Kwizera is joining the team for a pair of group-stage qualifying matches in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

The 24-year-old midfielder is the first Rhode Island FC player to receive two international call-ups this season.

“It is always an honor to be called up to the national team,” Kwizera said. “Every opportunity to play for Rwanda is special. I know I am representing not just my country, but also Rhode Island FC.”

With 44 countries competing in the qualifying round, only the top two finishers in each group will earn a spot in the final tournament that will take place from Dec. 21, 2025, to Jan. 18, 2026, in Morocco.
