Our Team

Lionel Bianquis

President

Lionel Bianquis is a French-Rwandan citizen who left his life in Paris to return to his mother’s homeland and contribute to Rwanda’s sustainable development. A soccer enthusiast and entrepreneur, he decided to join his friend Pierre Micheau in founding the INZUKI FOOTBALL ACADEMY, a place where children in Kigali can have fun and thrive. His goal is to instill in young people values that will enable them, in turn, to play an active role in promoting Rwanda’s global standing.

Pierre Micheau

Technical Director

Pierre Micheau is a French citizen and mayor of a town in the Aude department who has developed a deep love for Rwanda. A UEFA A-licensed coach since 2014, he is also the Aude district president of the French Football Federation (FFF) and organizes summer soccer camps for children in his region. His expertise in coaching young people, combined with his love for Rwanda, led him to launch the INZUKI FOOTBALL ACADEMY. He dreams of opening about ten such academies across the African continent.
