🚨 The Democratic Republic of Congo’s partnership with Barça is part of a wider strategy to gain global visibility through sport.
A study explains that the country wants to promote its tourism, culture and national image by linking itself to a club with hundreds of millions of followers worldwide.
The deal also opens the debate around sportswashing, but the study argues that not every sporting investment should automatically be seen that way.
In this case, the Barça agreement shows how football has become a tool for diplomacy, reputation and international communication.
