Arsenal unmoved on £10m-a-year Visit Rwanda sleeve sponsorship despite Supreme Court ruling against UK government's immigration plan over African nation's 'poor human rights record'

The UK Supreme Court ruled this week that the Conservative Party's plan to send illegal immigrants to Rwanda is "unlawful".

Lord Robert Reed, the president of the court, said Rwanda has a "poor human rights record" but there is not expected to be any change to Arsenal's agreement with the country, per The Athletic.

Visit Rwanda first appeared on Arsenal shirts in 2018, but the deal was reupped in 2021 and is worth £10m ($12.5m) per year to the Gunners. The club claims the agreement is about promoting potential tourism, as opposed to supporting the country's leadership, or any of their politics.

The Rwandan government has been accused of multiple human rights abuses and Visit Rwanda is a governmental division.

Arsenal are not the only club to have an agreement with Visit Rwanda. Both Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich have also entered into sponsorship deals with the organisation.

The Gunners return to action following the international break on November 25 against Brentford. They will then be in Champions League action against French club Lens.
