Remesha Bbc secured the third position, earning 3,000,000 Fbu, while Tigers Bbc finished in fourth place, taking home 2,000,000 Fbu.

In our country's football, the Primus Ligue's leader, Vitalo FC, was held to a goalless draw (0-0) by their direct competitor, Flambeau du Centre, during the 11-th round of the championship at October 29th, 2023. This very battleful and intense match emphasized the fierce competition at the top of the Burundi Primus Ligue table.
Aigle Noir delivered a pivotal victory with a 2-1 score against Rukinzo. This victory was particularly significant as both teams were tied at 19 points before this 11th round. The win for Aigle Noir propelled them forward in the league standings.
However, it was a day of modest goal-scoring, with only, and only eight goals being netted in the eight matches played. This lack of prolific scoring further emphasizes the existence of tight contests in the Primus Ligue.
