Bayern Munich Transforms Rwanda Partnership Amid Criticism Of Sportswashing

We collectively report on Bayern Munich's decision to alter its controversial sponsorship deal with the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), moving away from a commercial "Visit Rwanda" tourism promotion to a focus on youth football development in Kigali. This shift comes after significant criticism from fans and international observers due to allegations of Rwanda's support for the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo, leading to accusations of sportswashing. While Bayern reduces its direct branding, Rwanda maintains similar tourism partnerships with other major European clubs like Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Atletico Madrid, as it aims to substantially increase its sports tourism earnings by 2029 through these high-profile collaborations and infrastructure investments. We also touch upon broader ethical concerns in sports sponsorships and the departure of Bayern's chief financial officer, Michael Diederich.
