Besides, the \u2018Visit Rwanda\u2019 logo will be showcased on the team\u2019s training kits and jerseys during friendship matches and in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership was announced a year and a half after Rwanda Development Board started working with Arsenal, a professional football club in England. The agreement with Arsenal allowed Rwanda to showcase its brand on the team\u2019s jerseys in order to promote tourism.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with RTV, Clare Akamanzi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), said that Rwanda chose PSG partnership because the agreement transcends tourism and football interests as it covers commercial interests as well, giving Rwandans an opening to promote their products and services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn a bid to promote the economy of our country and the wellbeing of Rwandans, we strive to find ways to market the Rwandan brand inside and outside the country. We signed this three-year sponsorship deal with PSG but it is not only a way to promote Rwanda as a tourist destination through \u2018Visit Rwanda\u2019, but we will also be able to promote businesses including cloth brands, tea, and coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-33815 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/nnnn-9-fc15f.jpg\" alt=\"Rwanda announced a three-year sponsorship deal with French football club Paris Saint-Germain\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-33816 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/arton108901-e038e.jpg\" alt=\"Clare Akamanzi, the Chief Executive Officer of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), said that Rwanda chose PSG partnership because the agreement transcends tourism and football interests\" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-33817 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/mbappe_yambaye_umupira_ugaragaza_amagambo_visit_rwanda_ubwo_yishyushyaga-3-88e12.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;We strive to find ways to market the Rwandan brand inside and outside the country.&quot;-Clare Akamanzi \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Wednesday 4th December, Rwanda announced a three-year sponsorship deal with French football club Paris Saint-Germain, PSG, intended to contribute to the attraction of investors and tourists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-40464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40464\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40464"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=40464"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=40464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
