Hudl Enters into Exclusive, Multi-Year Rights Agreement with Rwanda’s BK Pro League

4 min Read

Lincoln, Neb - 17 August 2026 - Hudl, a global leader in sports performance analysis and scouting, entered into a exclusive multi-year partnership with FA Rwanda Premier League Limited, bringing the BK Pro League to Hudl Wyscout for the first time.

This agreement marks an important step in Hudl's continued expansion across Africa, giving clubs, coaches, and scouts worldwide exclusive access to Rwanda’s BK Pro League video and data through Hudl Wyscout—the world's largest database of football video and data.

For any league, being on Hudl Wyscout means more than access to footage. When a league's matches are available on Wyscout, players and teams become visible to scouts, technical staff, and coaches operating at every level of the game—locally, regionally and globally.

“Partnering with Hudl is an important milestone in the international growth and professionalisation of the BK Pro League. Through Hudl Wyscout, our players, clubs and competitions will gain greater visibility among scouts, coaches and football professionals around the world. Equally important, the platform provides our technical personnel with access to detailed video and performance data, enabling coaches, analysts and sporting departments to make more informed, data-based decisions.” said Jules Karangwa, CEO of the BK Premier League. “We believe this will contribute to raising the overall high-performance standards of the league, strengthening our clubs’ technical capacity and creating greater opportunities for our players to progress and compete at the highest levels of the game.”

Leagues in emerging and growing football markets stand to benefit significantly from that visibility. When a club's players can be found, assessed, and tracked on the world's most widely used scouting platform, it opens doors: for individual players seeking opportunities, for clubs building competitive squads, and for leagues working to raise their international profile.

“Having relied on platforms like Wyscout and Hudl throughout my career, I can confidently say that their introduction into Rwandan football is nothing short of transformative. This advancement is a game changer on multiple levels, but perhaps the most crucial impact lies in the visibility it provides for our local players,” said Stephen Constantine, the Rwanda National Team Manager. “Rwanda is rich with untapped talent, and these young athletes deserve to be seen. With this technology, their skills can finally reach a wider audience, opening doors to opportunities that were previously out of reach.”

The Rwanda Premier League's presence on Hudl Wyscout puts Rwandan football on the map for the global scouting community.

"We are thrilled to bring the BK Pro League exclusively on Hudl Wyscout, bringing one of the continent’s most innovative leagues to the world’s largest scouting and analysis platform," said Mateo Bourrut Lacouture, strategic partnership manager at Hudl. "This agreement ensures that clubs, coaches, and players across the league gain exposure on a worldwide scale while equipping local teams with world-class video and data tools to support their development."
