Mukagatete Emelyne Heads to Spain

Striker Mukagatete Emelyne, who played for Rayon Sports WFC, has begun a new chapter in her football career after moving to Spain, where she is set to play for CDEM Femeninas Fuensalida.

On the night of August 24, 2026, Mukagatete departed from Kigali International Airport in Kanombe, beginning her journey to Spain, where she is set to take another important step in her football career.

The striker will play for CDEM Femeninas Fuensalida, where she will have the opportunity to compete at a new level, gain valuable experience, and continue developing her talent. Playing outside Rwanda is a major opportunity that could help Mukagatete gain more recognition and improve her level of football.

Mukagatete was already well known in Rwandan women’s football, particularly after joining Rayon Sports WFC from Muhazi United Women. During her time at Rayon Sports, she continued to showcase her goalscoring ability and contribute to the team.

Her move to Spain comes just one year after signing for Rayon Sports WFC, another indication that women’s football in Rwanda continues to open doors for players to pursue opportunities abroad.

For Mukagatete, this marks the beginning of a new chapter that could be very important in her career. Rwandans will be hoping that she represents the country well in Spain, gains valuable experience, and continues to raise the profile of Rwandan women’s football.
