The match was played at PSG\u2019s home stadium, Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This evening in Paris, President Kagame attended the UEFA Champions League match at Parc des Princes, where Visit Rwanda partner Paris Saint-Germain secured a 5\u20132 victory over Chelsea FC,” the Office of the President said in a post on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership between Visit Rwanda and Paris Saint-Germain was first signed in 2019 and renewed in 2025, extending the agreement until 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the deal, PSG promotes the Visit Rwanda brand at its home ground, Parc des Princes, and on the club\u2019s training kits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the partnership began, millions of football fans around the world have gained greater awareness of Rwanda through media coverage and the visibility of the Visit Rwanda brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the collaboration, more than 400 children have also received football training through PSG Academy Rwanda, established by the French club in Rwanda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, the club sends players and legends to Rwanda to visit the country\u2019s tourist attractions and share their experiences with global audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest visitors were Oc\u00e9ane Nathalie Toussaint Dit Marseille, Baby Jordy Benera, and Jade Le Guilly, members of the Paris Saint-Germain F\u00e9minine, who visited Rwanda in late February this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Rwanda Development Board, the continued partnership helps position Rwanda as a global tourism destination, with further exposure expected as the Visit Rwanda brand appears on training kits worn by PSG youth teams in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
