The talented forward said learning that he would wear the Rwanda national team jersey was an emotional moment for him, emphasizing that representing a country is a privilege that not every player gets to experience.
Emeran, who currently plays for FC Groningen in the Netherlands, said he is ready to work closely with his teammates and coaching staff as Rwanda continues its journey toward achieving greater success on the international stage.
In a message shared after his call-up, the 22-year-old said: “I am extremely happy and deeply honored to join the Rwanda national team. For me, it is a great privilege to represent Rwanda as my country, and this marks the beginning of a new chapter that we will write together with passion, hard work, and unity.”
The announcement of Emeran’s inclusion in the Amavubi squad has been warmly welcomed by Rwandan football fans and analysts, many of whom believe his talent, creativity, and experience in European football could strengthen the national team ahead of upcoming competitions.
Having previously developed through the youth ranks of Manchester United, Emeran arrives with high expectations as Rwanda prepares for crucial international assignments, including the qualification campaign for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
His call-up comes at a time when Amavubi are preparing for a training camp and international friendly matches in Morocco, where the coaching staff will have an opportunity to assess new talent and build a competitive squad for the challenges ahead.
With his first national team invitation now confirmed, Emeran says he is eager to contribute to Rwanda’s ambitions and help bring success and pride to the nation.
