1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	See issues below.
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	Lists and sections are not supposed to be empty, of course, and there are many examples of this. Part of the "Records" section is empty and orange-tagged as a result. There is also a lot of information missing from both of the lists in the "Players" section. I am also not convinced of the need for results tables for tournaments such as the World Cup, Olympics, and African Games given Rwanda has never qualified for any of them. The lead section could also be expanded by a few more sentences at least.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Refs 4, 7, 12, 14, and 16 do not work, Ref 17 is very strangely formatted and makes it hard to tell if the desired information is actually there, Ref 24 gives a 404 error, Ref 28 is badly formatted
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.	"Home stadium", "Record per opponent", "Records", and "Competitive record" all have no citations.
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	Team logo is fair use.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Team logo is definitely relevant.
	7. Overall assessment.

Issues with criterion 1a

Lead and infobox

"It had to date been scheduled to compete in one major tournament, the inaugural Women's Challenge Cup held in Zanzibar in October 2007, but the event was ultimately canceled." → commas around "to date"
"It has finally debuted in February 2014 against Kenya" → "The team made its debut in February 2014 against Kenya."
"Biggest win" portion of the infobox ("Rwanda 2-0 Djibouti") should replace hyphen with an endash

History

First paragraph does not have anything to do specifically with Rwanda
"Inside Rwanda, the first women's football programme was developed in 2000" → "The first women's football programme in Rwanda was developed in 2000"
"with most of its funding coming from FIFA" → this is also stated in the first paragraph; additionally the link does not need to be repeated
"The lack of high-level football opportunities in Uganda" → "Uganda" can be linked to either Uganda or Football in Uganda
"there was no FIFA FUTURO III regional course for women's coaching" → what is the FIFA FUTURO III course, specifically, and why is it special or necessary in particular?
There is no specific description of what the "FIFA MA" course is.
"The competition was to be funded by Confederation of African Football" → since the abbreviation "CAF" is used to refer to the entity later in the paragraph and article, define it here by saying "...Confederation of African Football (CAF)..."
"The Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations secretary..." → this organization has already been named and an abbreviation has been given, so use the abbreviation (CECAFA)
"However, a senior national team played its first official match on 16 February 2014" → "a" national team sounds awkward compared to "the" national team
"She-Amavubi debuted on 16 January 2014" → given in the lead as "The She-Amavubi", with an article, and in italics
"after finishing 2–2 on aggregate" → link aggregate score
"Their third official match was disputed" → why was it disputed?
"They disputed the 2014 African Women's Championship second qualification round with Nigeria on 24 May 2014, losing 4–1" → same question as above
"the She-Amavubi lost by a crushing 8–0 defeat" → needs italics per the lead, and "The" is capitalized
"Rwanda beat Tanzania (the eventual champions) 1–0 but finished last on 4 points from their 4 games." → recommend changing "4" to "four" per MOS:SPELL09
"Rwanda's women national football - the 'She-Wasps' eliminated Kenya in the first round of the 2014 African Women's Championship (AWC)" → beginning of this sentence is worded very awkwardly

Results and fixtures

"as well as any future matches that have been scheduled" → incorrect as there are no future matches listed

Record per opponent

"The following table shows Rwanda' all-time official international record per opponent" → should be "Rwanda's"

Coaching staff

Are the technical director and team manager spots vacant? If so that should be noted rather than leaving them blank
Year ranges in the "Manager history" section should use en-dashes instead of hyphens per MOS:DATERANGE

Players

"This is the provisional Squad named in May 2022 For 2022 CECAFA Women's Championship" → a few issues: (1) why is it a provisional squad if the tournament is in the past? (2) "squad" should not be capitalized. (3) "for" should not be capitalized. (4) The addition of the word "the" is needed before "2022 CECAFA Women's Championship".

Records

"Active players in bold, statistics correct as of 2020" → statistics should be updated as of 2022; also "as of [year]" does not need to be bolded

Competitive record

Quite the bizarre idea to include the redlinked "Rwanda at the FIFA Women's World Cup" when they've never been, I think.

Overall review conclusion

WP:GAR states that An individual assessment may be closed after seven days of no activity. As there has been no activity on this review page for seven days, ~~and the edits and updates to the article aren't consistent enough or close enough to the comments left above to warrant "activity" on the review in my opinion,~~ I am closing the review. My conclusion is that the article fails GA criteria 1a, 1b, 2a, and 2c at least, and therefore will be delisted. If improvements are made in the future, and the article is brought up to par, it can be renominated for GA. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:21, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have struck a portion of the above comment that does not apply as I misread the dates of the latest edits; I thought they were in July whereas they were actually in June. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 21:26, 9 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
