Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Officials from Spanish club Atle\u0301tico Madrid, who recently visited Rwanda \u2018were highly impressed\u2019 by the country\u2019s tourism offerings as well as its efforts towards developing top sports infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The eight-member delegation, comprising among others, representatives from the club\u2019s partnerships department, visited Rwanda as part of Atle\u0301tico Madrid\u2019s sponsorship agreement with Visit Rwanda, the country\u2019s flagship tourism promotion initiative.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and Atle\u0301tico Madrid, 11-time La Liga champions, announced a landmark partnership under the \u201cVisit Rwanda\u201d brand. The collaboration was the first time that Atle\u0301tico Madrid entered a commercial agreement with an African brand.<\/p>\n

During their visit to Rwanda, the delegation toured the Sports City complex in Remera, which includes Amahoro Stadium, BK Arena, Petit Stade, and surrounding facilities, and were \u201cdeeply impressed by the facilities and ongoing developments,\u201d according to an RDB statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot express how much we loved Rwanda, the country, the people, the parks and the energy we experienced throughout our visit. We cannot wait to keep exploring Rwanda with our players and other Club representatives, as well as continue working together on the many opportunities now on the table,\u201d one official said, as quoted by RDB.<\/p>\n

The group also visited Akagera National Park and Volcanoes National Park.<\/p>\n

Accompanied by a representative from the Atle\u0301tico Academy, the RDB team visited the local football federation, FERWAFA, and participated in several training sessions.<\/p>\n

The partnership with the Spanish club aims to elevate Rwanda\u2019s global visibility and expand its engagement with Spanish-speaking audiences, showcasing the country\u2019s tourism sector, investment opportunities, and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

As a premium partner, Visit Rwanda receives prominent recognition through a multi-year agreement running until June 30, 2028. The arrangement includes Visit Rwanda branding on the front of Atle\u0301tico Madrid\u2019s men\u2019s first-team training and warm-up kits for the remaining five La Liga matches of the season, as well as during the Club World Cup.<\/p>\n

Visit Rwanda also enjoys extensive visibility at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium, across Atle\u0301tico Madrid\u2019s global digital platforms, and through international fan engagement programs.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Visit Rwanda serves as the club\u2019s official training partner, official tourism destination partner, and official coffee supplier, an opportunity that highlights Rwanda\u2019s globally acclaimed coffee and reflects the nation\u2019s spirit of excellence, innovation, and hospitality on the world stage.<\/p>\n
