Rwanda Makes History as First African Sponsor of Atlético Madrid KIGALI, RWANDA – In a groundbreaking move for African sports diplomacy, the #Rwanda Development Board (RDB) has signed a landmark three-year #sponsorship deal with Spanish football powerhouse #AtléticoMadrid, making #VisitRwanda the first African brand to partner with the La Liga giants. Announced on April 30, 2025, the agreement, running until June 30, 2028, positions Rwanda as a key player in global #football marketing. Under the deal, the #VisitRwanda logo will feature prominently on Atlético Madrid’s men’s and women’s team #training kits, warm-up gear, and match jerseys starting next season. The brand will also appear across the #RiyadhAirMetropolitano Stadium and the club’s digital platforms, amplifying Rwanda’s visibility to millions of football fans worldwide. Additionally, Rwanda becomes the club’s official #coffee supplier, showcasing its renowned coffee industry, and serves as the official #tourism and training partner. “This historic #partnership reflects Rwanda’s ambition to position itself as a premier global hub for #investment, #tourism, and #sports development,” said Jean-Guy Afrika, CEO of the RDB. “Atlético Madrid’s values of resilience, discipline, and excellence align with Rwanda’s transformation journey.” The collaboration extends beyond branding, offering technical #development programs for young Rwandan players and coaches, granting access to Atlético’s world-class training expertise. This initiative aims to nurture local #talent and strengthen Rwanda’s domestic football ecosystem. Óscar Mayo, Atlético Madrid’s General Director of Revenue and Operations, emphasized the deal’s significance: “#VisitRwanda is a key partner in our club’s goal of international #expansion. We are thrilled to welcome the first African sponsor to the Red & White family.” This move adds to Rwanda’s growing portfolio of elite football partnerships, including deals with #Arsenal, #ParisSaintGermain, and #BayernMunich. However, the sponsorship has sparked some controversy, with critics citing Rwanda’s role in regional conflicts and domestic governance concerns. Despite this, the Rwandan #football fraternity has welcomed the deal as a game-changer for national visibility. The partnership marks a bold step in Rwanda’s strategy to leverage #sportsdiplomacy, promoting its #heritage, #wildlife, and economic opportunities to a global audience, particularly in the Spanish-speaking world. As Atlético Madrid, an 11-time La Liga champion, prepares to showcase #VisitRwanda, the collaboration signals Africa’s rising influence in the world’s most popular sport. #Rwanda #AtléticoMadrid #VisitRwanda #LaLiga #FootballSponsorship

Chido Obi, at 17 years and 156 days, became #Manchester United's youngest-ever Premier League starter in a match against Brentford at the Gtech Community #Stadium on May 4, 2025, breaking the record previously held by Mason Greenwood. Manager Ruben Amorim made eight changes to the starting lineup, fielding a youthful team with an average age of 22 years and 270 days, the youngest in United’s Premier League history. Obi, a former #Arsenal academy standout, joined United last year and has impressed, scoring 14 goals in 15 matches for the under-18 and under-21 sides, plus seven in three FA Youth Cup games. Amorim praised Obi’s readiness for the Premier League, citing his strong substitute appearances against #Wolverhampton and #Newcastle, but emphasized managing pressure on the young striker. Despite being ineligible for Europa League matches, including the recent semi-final against Athletic Bilbao, Obi’s inclusion in the #Brentford lineup reflects Amorim’s focus on youth development amid a packed schedule. Posts on X highlight excitement around Obi’s debut and potential, with teammate Leny Yoro backing him to become “one of the world’s greatest strikers.” #fobami #sport

Arsenal 0-1 PSG: Dembélé’s Early Strike Gives Parisians Edge in Champions League Semi-Final In a tightly contested #UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain secured a 1-0 victory over #Arsenal, thanks to a fourth-minute goal by Ousmane #Dembélé. The French side’s slick passing and dynamic movement stunned the hosts early, with Dembélé finishing a flowing move with a low shot that snuck inside the post. #Arsenal, despite long spells of pressure, couldn’t find an equalizer, leaving them with a mountain to climb in the second leg. The #Gunners pushed back after the early setback, with Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard denied by superb saves from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. A Mikel Merino header from a Declan Rice free-kick was ruled out for offside after a three-minute VAR review, further frustrating the home side. PSG’s counter-attacking threat remained potent, with David Raya’s first-half save against Desire Doué and late missed chances by Bradley #Barcola and Gonçalo Ramos keeping Arsenal in the tie. Despite Arsenal’s disciplined defense and set-piece prowess, PSG’s tactical flexibility and recent signing Kvicha Kvaratskhelia’s influence proved decisive. The Emirates atmosphere, while passionate, didn’t reach the fever pitch Mikel #Arteta had hoped for, as PSG’s quality quieted the crowd. Arsenal now face a daunting task in the return leg at Parc des Princes on May 7, needing a historic performance to reach their first Champions League final since 2006. #fobami, #Sportnews #Viralnews
