Flameau du Centre is a professional football club based in Gitega, Burundi. The team currently plays in the Burundi Ligue A, the top division of Burundi football.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The club comes from the Le Messager FC academy,[3] like the Le Messager Football Club Ngozi, it evolved at the beginning under the name Académie Le Messager FC Gitega before taking the name of Flambeau du Center. The Messenger Gitega was able to access the 2nd national division after three years of negotiations for name change reasons. The leaders of the federation could not accept two teams with the same name of Messenger .

Since the 2017–2018 season, the club has played in the first division of Burundi. In 2022 the club won its first league title.[4]
