The government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and football team FC Barcelona have announced a four-year sponsorship agreement.
The agreement will see all of FC Barcelona’s professional teams wearing the emblem “RD Congo – Coeur d’Afrique”, which translates to “DR Congo – Heart of Africa”, on the back of their training shirts until the end of the 2028/29 season. The DRC will also become the club’s Official Empowerment Partner for Sports and Culture.
The agreement will also be reflected in FC Barcelona’s upcoming Espai Barça redevelopment project. The Spotify Camp Nou, a stadium in Barcelona, will house the “House of the DRC”, an immersive exhibition space designed to showcase the DRC’s cultural diversity and sporting traditions.
