DR Congo is the heart of Africa. And one of the sponsors of Barcelona

You may have missed, so I will start with the news: Barcelona has signed a sponsorship contract with DR Congo, for which it will earn 40-44 million euros for 4 seasons. We will see the advertising of tourist trips to the exotic country on Catalans in the new season, but if you believe media information, only on the kits for training and warm -ups before matches. Just imagine: you turn on the Barcelona match against Real Madrid, for example, and there – the inscription “DRC – the heart of Africa”. I can not yet accurately answer the question of how it will affect the atmosphere, but I am sure that such a sponsorship agreement looks somewhat comical. Because, for example, Spotify Camp Nou is at least a popular application. And what is the same in the Congo that tours are advertised there on T -shirts of one of the best teams in the world?

At first, I thought that there was no connection between the country and Barcelona at all, and the only motivation of the Catalans to sign under this agreement is the need to make money to repay loans. But everything is wrong. Everything is much deeper. In fact, the Congo advertising is simply designed for Barcelona. In this material I explain why so.

Official language is French

All Europe will be recovered from the PSG victory for some time in the Champions League. Only the question of the time when the Parisians will imitate. In everything. This is always the case when someone becomes the best sensationally: everyone is looking for a “cheat code”, they try to repeat for him. Here is the “Bars” looking for the opportunity to touch something championship, French – and signs a contract with the country where they speak in this language. Coincidence? Impossible.

Nyiragono Volcano is one of the most dangerous

Nyragono Volcano Not even in Africa – but in general all over the world. Already in the 21st century, the volcano partially destroyed one of the largest cities in the country. The bench here is very rare, the eruption can not happen at any time-but very easy in the next few years. Residents sit on a powder barrel. Just like Barcelona fans, which has been on the verge of bankruptcy. The Catalans chose a country sponsor with residents who understand them.

The poorest country of the world in 2012

Now it has become a little better, obviously, because without money, it would not be possible to negotiate advertising on Barcelona T -shirts – but the problems have not yet passed. DR Congo is still not a country whose economy is stable. That’s all the same can be said about Barcelona – a team that is difficult with money. Her worst times in financial terms have come to a slightly later time, but that are 10 years in a historical section? DR Congo and Barcelona are similar.

There are so many snakes in the country

Many species, some of which are local endemics. Of course, a very large percentage is poisonous. Bite – and you are “out of the game”. Just as she was outside the game of Barcelona as a result of the semi -finals of the Champions League against Inter, one of which is the Snakes. You can decide for yourself, signing a contract with the DR Congo on this side – a manifestation of Stockholm syndrome or an attempt to learn how to deal with fears. But the relationship is too obvious.

In the twentieth century in the Congo actively mined uranium ore

You probably read the sentence “Catalans cook a transfer bomb” during the summer. And then think for yourself.

Rumba is a Congo symbol

In African countries, dances have always occupied one of the leading places in culture. For the DK it is a rumba. We kill the name of the club and this dance in Gugl-and we find out that in 2002 the world was presented the song “Rumba de Barcelona”. One of the most mounted comments under video with this composition on YouTube begins with the word “Ronaldinho”, the neighboring mentioned Messi and other legends of the Catalan team. But how much can these “matches” can be!

Traditional clothes are bright fabrics and shirts

Lewandowski in the last season of the team from Hawa often appeared in public in youth outfits. Kunde is one of the main fashionistas of modern football. Yamal dresses brightly, loves jewelry. Such a “Barcelona” could not choose its sponsor, where the restraint in expressing itself through clothes was cultivated. DR Congo is perfect, because in this matter, the values of both parties of the agreement coincide.

Jules Kunde Women have complex hairstyles with braids

They talked about costumes and outfits – and it will be about hairstyles. In the Democratic Republic, one of the most popular among women – with braids. Europe and Catalonia are more progressive, so men, including Barcelona, are worn here. You can mention Kunde again, but Ambassador of this option is a hairstyle – Rafinha, one of the main contenders for a golden ball. Again between the Congo and the Spanish Club “Mar”

Key resources for economy – gold, diamonds and copper

The easiest way to earn is to sell resources, not products or services. The same way goes to Barcelona, which is looking for more “levers” (you have been waiting for this word, yes?) And chooses the options that lie on the surface. Here she sold advertising at the stadium. And now on T -shirts. And somewhere between this she promised to pay out the loan from not yet earned money. In the long run, the plan is bad. But now things are such that there are no other options. Therefore, it is necessary to sell gold-advertising and diamond-computers.

The country’s economy is suffering from corruption

Because of this, DR Congo cannot develop. Scandals regular. The same with Barcelona: the news with the word “corruption” and the mention of the Catalan collective inside appears annually, sometimes several times. That is something with the judges, then with the leadership of the League, then with something. Barcelona cannot be caught on hot, but this kind of reputation of the team clearly does not help her develop faster. And at least to force the process a little, the Catalans sign a sponsorship contract with a country that is immersed in corruption.

Well, they really found each other.
