The country has signed a tourism deal with Arsenal club. Rwanda has it’s name printed on the sleeves of the jerseys of the International soccer players. This poses various opportunities in a way that they are visible to all the people around the world.

“The Arsenal shirt is seen 35 million times a day around the world,” said Vinai Venkatesham, Arsenal’s Chief Commercial Officer, in a statement released on the Club website. Rwanda is growing fast, and with this, they may become a city better than South Africa.
