Rwanda and Germany’s top football club, FC Bayern Munich, have signed a deal to boost local football and tourism.
The “Visit Rwanda” logo will be displayed at the German team’s 75,000-seater stadium on match days, as part of the five year-deal made for an undisclosed fee.
Also in Rwanda, up to 30 talented children will benefit from a new FC Bayern youth academy, the government says.
This deal is also a chance for Germany’s top team to “become active on the African continent and gather important experiences”, says its chief executive, Jan-Christian Dreesen.
Kigali has similar sponsorship deals with Arsenal and Paris St-Germain, yet Rwandan football teams have so far struggled at regional and continental level. (BBC)
