As part of the deal, the club will partner with the Rwandan Ministry of Sports to establish a football academy to

The club will also place Visit Rwanda branding on LED scoreboards during matches at the 75,000 capacity Allianz Arena and "different activities will be organized to promote tourism and investment opportunities in Rwanda."
Germany's most titled club's Executive Officer Jan-Christian Dreesen said that "Africa is a continent of opportunity" and the partnership will allow Bayern to be active on the continent, gaining "important experience."
For his part, Rwanda's Sports Minister Aurore Mimosa Munyangaju noted that the partnership provides Rwanda with a great platform to strive for
