By Kamusime Barnabas

Steven Mugisha: Qualifying for the CAF Champions League is a dream come true.

By winning the 2019/20 Burundi Premier League trophy, Le Messager Ngozi Football Club earned the rights to represent the country at the next season’s CAF Champions League.

Two Ugandans; Steven “Nesta” Mugisha and Allan Brian Kizza were part of the triumphant club.

Mugisha is humbled for the collective responsibility from all the teammates, technical team and the fans.

He has since confessed that qualifying for the CAF Champions League is a dream come true as he continues to ascend the ladder.

Meanwhile, Musongati Football Club, an entity owned by the country’s newly sworn in president, General Évariste Ndayishimiye won the Burundi President’s Cup and will thus represent the country at the CAF Confederation Cup.
