Statement

Yesterday, FC Bayern announced that there have been substantive developments in its cooperation with the Rwandan Development Board (RDB). In some media coverage, the impression may have arisen, that FC Bayern had ended its partnership with the RDB. This is not correct. Following positive and constructive discussions, we have jointly decided to transition the commercial element of our previous agreement (“Visit Rwanda”) into a new cooperation for youth football, running until 2028.
As a result, the entire focus of our partnership — which also includes the Ministry of Sports of Rwanda — is now on expanding the FC Bayern Academy in Kigali.
