History
It was founded in the capital Bujumbura as the representative team of the national police,[2] so the majority of its payroll is made up of serving officers. In the 2017/18 season, they were promoted to the Burundi First Division for the first time after winning their group in the second category.
In their first season in the first division, they finished in sixth place and reached the final of the Burundi Cup for the first time, which they lost against Aigle Noir Makamba FC, a team that ultimately won the league and cup that season.
Being a finalist in the Burundi Cup, Rukinzo qualified for the 2019-20 CAF Confederation Cup, his first international tournament, where they were eliminated in the preliminary round by Triangle United FC from Zimbabwe.[3]
