Desire Mbonabucya and Claude Kalisa will make history in Brussels on Sunday.

The two St. Truiden players will become the first Rwandans ever to play in a Cup Final in a European country.

That represents a great deal for national team captain Mbonabucya.

"It is the first time that a Rwandan will play in a European final, so it is an honour for our country," the striker told the BBC.

"The Rwandans here in Belgium are so interested in our final, and many of them have bought tickets for the game.

"Those who are in Rwanda won't be able to fly in for the game, because it costs so much, but they will all be watching us on television."

The Rwandan pair are confident they will end up with winners� medals too.

"We have done well against La Louviere both times we have played them," defender Kalisa said.

Because of that St Truiden and its two Rwandans are favourites, but Mbonabucya is taking nothing for granted.

"We must stay calm and concentrated on Sunday�s match, " he said.

"If we keep our feet on the ground we have a good chance."

Both Mbonabucya and Kalisa are national team regulars, and after the final will head off to Uganda for a key Nations� Cup qualifier.

Rwanda are currently bottom of a three team group that also features Ghana, but Mbonabucya is not giving up hope.

"I think we can beat Uganda, because their team is not too strong.

"We just made a few small mistakes the first time," when Rwanda were held to a goal-less draw in Kigali.

"Their team is not strong though - they are too laid back, and don't put you under pressure," he added.

"If we sort out our technical errors from the first leg, we will be fine."

First, though, comes that Belgian Cup final, that Rwandans all over the globe will be tuning in to.
