Relationship between the Rwanda Tennis Federation and Our Partners 

The Rwanda Tennis Federation (RTF) operates under the auspices of the Ministry of Sports of the Republic of Rwanda. As our principal collaborator, the Ministry of Sports has played a pivotal role in advancing our national tennis infrastructure. Over the years, this collaboration has been instrumental in the development of four internationally recognized tennis courts within the past two years, reflecting our shared commitment to elevating the standards of tennis in Rwanda.

In addition to our partnership with the Rwandan government, the RTF is an integral member of the Confederation of African Tennis (CAT). Our engagement with CAT has facilitated numerous programs and training initiatives designed to enhance the competitive landscape of tennis across Africa. This cooperation also includes the successful hosting of regional tournaments, which serves to both elevate the profile of tennis within the continent and provide a platform for African players to gain international exposure.

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) is another key partner in our efforts to promote and develop tennis in Rwanda. Our longstanding relationship with the ITF has enabled us to host prestigious tournaments, including ATP Challenger events, making Rwanda the first Sub-Saharan country to achieve this milestone. Furthermore, our collaboration has extended to ITF Futures and International Junior tournaments, reinforcing our commitment to fostering talent from grassroots to professional levels. As a testament to our successful partnership, the ATP  TOUR recently upgraded Rwanda Challenger  from ATP 50 to ATP 75, reflecting our growing prominence in the global tennis community.
