In a video shared on the club’s official twitter handle, Rwandan drummers and dancers clad in traditional attires are seen sharing light moments with the English Premier League Team top players.
“It was just a normal day at training… …and then this happened Thanks for coming to see us, @visitrwanda_now,” reads Arsenal twit.
In the video drums players are seen circulating around the pitch, drumming and dancing, amazing and amusing the players who joined them in enjoying Rwandan traditional dancing rhythm.
As drummers entered the pitch, players including Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Lucas Torreira, Alexander Lacazette, Aubameyang, Coach Unai Emery among others joined the dancers.
The seemingly amazed performance created magnanimity among players and concluded by a big applause to dancers as well as shaking hands of one another.
In March, Rwanda and Arsenal signed three-year tourism partnership that will see the “Visit Rwanda” logo featured on the left sleeve of all first team, under-23 and Arsenal Women’s matches from the season starting August.
The deal will among others highlight Rwanda’s tourism offerings such as the National Parks, which are attracting a record number of tourists due to growing numbers of wildlife including black rhino, lions, zebra, chimpanzees and the mountain gorillas, as well as the investment opportunities in the country.
Recently, the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) revealed that one Arsenal player will attend the Gorilla naming ceremony this year. The 23-infant-gorillas naming ceremony will be held at the foothills of the National Volcano Park in Kinigi, Musanze District, on September 7.
