Rwanda and Bayern Munich agree on five-year contract

Rwanda and Germany‘s top football club, FC Bayern Munich, have made an agreement to support local football and tourism. However,some people are criticizing this deal, claiming it is an attempt to distract attention from Rwanda’s bad human rights situation.

The “Visit Rwanda” logo will be shown at the German team’s big stadium with 75,000 seats during matches as part of a five-year agreement made for an unknown amount of money.

Approximately 30 gifted children in Rwanda will be given the chance to enhance their abilities and receive education at a newly established FC Bayern youth academy, as announced by the government.
This opportunity is also a chance for Germany’s top team to get involved in Africa and learn important things, says its chief executive, Jan-Christian Dreesen.

Kigali has agreements with Arsenal and Paris St-Germain for sponsorship, but Rwandan football teams have not done well in regional and continental competitions.

Critics say that these deals are a waste of valuable resources for wealthy European clubs, especially when many Rwandans are living in poverty.
