Rwanda is vying for 16th place at the final tournament of the Total Africa Nations Championship, scheduled for Morocco from January 12 to February 4, 2018.
Both Rwanda and Ethiopia got the chance to qualify after Egypt pulled out of the tournament before the Confederation of African Football (CAF) gave Zone 5 another slot.
The winner over the two legs joins Uganda and Sudan among other CECAFA teams that have already qualified for the tournament.
The final tournament will be played in Morocco between January and February 2018.
