The agreement announced on Wednesday, the tourist board of the African country, is similar to a bayern with Rwanda, and will include the Pichcide advertisement as the Bayern call “joint activism on social and digital channels of both companies”. Unlike her deal with Rwanda, German champions do not have any minerals of any football academy in the United Arab Emirates.
The Emirates, who reportedly missed the shirt sponsorship of Bayern, are a familiar appearance in the game. The airline has various prominence deals with Arsenal, Real Madrid and Leon and sponsor the English FA Cup among others and the oldest national cup competition in football. So he has deals in many other sports and was a shirt sponsor for Hamburg in the first Bundesleiga.
Michael Oat, a German lawyer, who led a fan protest against Qatar Airways sponsorship, is disappointed that history is repeating itself.
“It is misleading, but in the end it is possible that my belief was always that the Qatar deal was not eliminated thanks to the change in the mindset of the bayern officers, but because Qatar did not want to continue now.
‘I am ashamed of Bayern’
“Now they are actually working properly once again. With the difference that the position of migrant workers in the UAE is probably worse than Qatar,” he told DW. “It is impossible to justify the advertising contract for a company belonging to such a state. I feel ashamed to Bayern.”
A 2024 report by Amnesty International states that the country is made up of seven Emirates including Dubai, which “criminalization of freedom of expression and the rights of peaceful assembly”, so it paid attention to “for long -term imprisonment” for the big testing of the desired imprisonment for the strong economic relations with Israel “amid” armed struggle in Gaza “and” for a long time “

“FC is very happy to get a strong and shiny partner in Beerne Emirates, who has been a committed supporter of club football in Europe for decades,” said Heer. “FC Bayern requires financial planning protection to achieve its sports goals, so Emirates is an ideal fit for the family of partners of our club.”
A family of partners, which includes long -term deals with German firms Adidas, Alliance, and Audi, who also holds a stake in the club. Thesis made the so -called “chief partners” of the club with the shirt sponsor Dutash Telecom. The Emirates now visit Rwanda at the bottom of the betting site Betano, Crypto platform Bitpanda in the “Platinum” Tier and among others.
Bavaria Munich on Tight Rwanda
Bavaria, Saathi Yatra came for criticism in February with Rwanda partners, Arsenal and Paris St.-Germen, when Dr. Congo’s foreign Theresvamba Wagoner Vrabs said for the end of the fact that “the blood-elastic sponsor deals with this glimpse” struggles with the quarrel.
DW has contacted Bayern three times to comment on thesis criticisms, and from his fans of the club, for this story, but no response.
The club’s website states that Bayern’s “guide principles” is: “We show respect for diversity, accept our responsibility for society, and always take a clear stance.”
Anis Kanimba, a race human rights advocate and the daughter of Paul Rusbagina, whose life was made in the film Hotel Rwanda, told DW in May that the current situation is not completely corresponding.
“I would say that if they stand for peace in human rights that they should be able to support people from DRCAnd supporting the people of DRC does not mean to visit ‘Rwanda’ on your shirt, “he said.
“This is a country that is invading another foreign country, and you do not want to stay in bed with a country that is attacking another country.
“If there is no answer, you should not be in bed with Rwanda. So my call to action is just standing for your value because you may not have a double standard.”
The grip of countries with suspected human rights records on football is fed up with the year. The UAE owns Manchester City, while Qatar Airways Champions League and Katri sponsor Paris St.-Germen of the ruling family. Germany has recently firm the general in this regard, but Bayern now appears to open the door further.
