RAYON Sports have started negotiations with Skol Brewery for a bigger sponsorship package starting with the 2020/2021 season.

Since January this year, Rayon Sports management, led by its president Sadate Munyakazi, has been advocating for a bigger sponsorship package or else the club terminate the current deal - which runs until the end of the 2021/2022 season - in favour of a new sponsor.

The negotiations had stalled due to the Covid-19 lockdown, but quickly picked up last week after Rayon were reportedly in talks with Bralirwa, another brewer and Skol's main competitors.

Bralirwa, who are also in talks with Rwanda Football Association (Ferwafa) about a possibility to sponsor the topflight league - at a reported tune of Rwf450 million per year, were offering Rayon a Rwf90 million per season deal.

On behalf of Rayon, the talks with Skol are handled by the Advisory Committee - composed of the club's former president - after Munyakazi was a fortnight ago banned from all football activities for six months.
