About RNOSC

Rwanda's Gateway to
Olympic Excellence

The Rwanda National Olympic & Sports Committee (RNOSC) is the official body responsible for the development, promotion, and coordination of the Olympic Movement in Rwanda. Founded in 1984, RNOSC works tirelessly to uphold the values of Olympism — excellence, respect, and friendship.

We are dedicated to empowering Rwandan athletes, supporting national sports federations, and ensuring Rwanda's proud representation on the world's greatest sporting stage. From grassroots development to Olympic podiums, RNOSC is the backbone of Rwandan sport.

“The athletes must be at the heart of the sports movement.”

— Alice UMULINGA, President, RNOSC
