Rwanda Development Board has announced a three-year-deal with PSG of France meant to promote the country’s tourism, art and culture as well as brands.

Rwanda already have a similar deal with Premier League side Arsenal in which the club’s jerseys bear “Visit Rwanda” logo on the sleeves.

The deal with the French side will see local fashion and design, Rwandan art and culture, coffee and tea and well as tourist attractions gain visibility through the club.

Rwandan tea and coffee will exclusively be sold at Le Parc des Princes, the home stadium of PSG with a capacity of close to 48,000.

According to Rwanda Development Board Chief Executive Clare Akamanzi, the new deal also provides visibility opportunities showcasing Rwanda and ‘Visit Rwanda’ on backdrop banners and stadium installations, ‘Visit Rwanda’ on the women’s team as well as the training kits for men.

Other brand visibility opportunities will include a week-long display of Rwandan brands.

The deal will also cater to football development in the country with avenues to nature and mentor emerging talents.

“The other is Fashion, we are going to be working with PSG to select players in the Rwandan Fashion industry to elevate them and showcase them to the world using PSG platforms,” Akamanzi said.
