Garde Republicaine player claims he has never heard of Vipers before Kagame Cup

Friday July 24, 2026 – Amahoro stadium, Kigali
- Vipers vs Garde Republicaine 4pm
- APR vs Gor Mahia 8pm
Liban Mohamed has stoked the fire ahead of Garde Republicaine Cecafa Kagame Cup clash with Uganda’s Vipers revealing it is the first time he has heard about the club.
The two sides are in Group A alongside former winners APR of Rwanda and Kenya’s Gor Mahia in the 2026 tournament with the group winners assured of a semi-final berth.
Speaking to the press on pre-match, Liban said; “I am not going to tell you what will happen tomorrow because we are all footballers but we shall try to play and win.
“Maybe they are a big team (Vipers) but I have never heard about them (Vipers) but we are respecting the team.”
Garde Republicaine finished third in the Djibouti league and only got to know of their participation in the Kagame Cup just a fortnight ago and the coach Sahal Ahmed reveals that he had to call players from their vacations to prepare for the tournament.
“Most of our players were on vacation before we learned that we would participate in this tournament. We have only had two weeks to prepare but I can guarantee that we will be here to compete and give our opponents a tough challenge,” said Ahmed.
Garde Republicaine have won only the league in Djibouti twice (2020 & 2023) while Vipers have eight titles and they are the third most successful side in Uganda Premier League only behind SC Villa and KCCA who are on 17 and 13 titles respectively.
The Venoms have also played in the group stages of the Caf Champions League but have never won the Kagame Cup with Villa (3), KCCA (2), Express and Police with one title each the other Ugandan club winners.
Besides the two sides in Group A, Rwanda’s APR and Kenya’s Gor Mahia will battle for top spot.
