Fitina Omborenga (born 20 May 1996) is a Rwandan professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Rwanda Premier League club APR and the Rwanda national team.

Club career

On 31 August 2017, Omborenga returned to Rwanda from Topvar Topoľčany and signed a two-year contract with APR Kigali, a deal that would keep him at the military club until the end of the 2018–19 campaign.[2]

In late January 2019 his former manager at APR, Ljupko Petrović, recommended him to the 31 times Bulgarian champion CSKA Sofia.[3] In the beginning of February he was to sign a contract with CSKA and to be sent on loan to Litex Lovech until the end of the season.[4] However, after Omborenga had trialled with CSKA, the move did not materialise.[5][6]
