The Ministry of Sports has said that it is mulling new plans to unearth and nurture sports talent in the country.

The plans look to replace and upscale the initiate of the Isonga Football Academy - a ministry of sports academy - that went dysfunctional in 2018.

Speaking to Times Sport over the weekend, Guy Rurangayire, the acting Director of Sports at the Ministry for Sports said that the new programme will change not only to include football but also basketball and volleyball among other sports.

He also noted that the programme will be available in all the 30 districts of the country, as opposed to the repealed Isonga academy that was only based in the capital.

Each district will have at least a school where the new Isonga programme will be rolled out, and the ministry will allocate a budget to the centres on top of giving equipment and deploying coaches.
