The triumph marks Arsenal’s first league title since the legendary 2003/04 “Invincibles” season under former manager Arsène Wenger. “Congratulations to Arsenal, our Visit Rwanda partner, on being the Premier League champions after a hard-fought season! A well-deserved title!” Kagame posted on X. Kagame has repeatedly expressed his admiration for Arsenal over the years and often comments on the club’s performances on social media. Arsenal became partners with Visit Rwanda in 2018 under a sponsorship agreement aimed at promoting Rwanda as a global tourism and investment destination through football. The partnership is expected to conclude in June. Since the deal began, Visit Rwanda branding has featured on Arsenal’s shirt sleeves, across the club’s digital and hospitality platforms, and inside Emirates Stadium, helping boost Rwanda’s international visibility through the Premier League’s global audience.
