A delegation from the Democratic Republic of the Congo were present at San Siro during the recent game against Sassuolo.

Our most recent Substack bonus article takes a look at the background behind the deal between Milan and DR Congo, which sees the country sponsor the training wear that the Rossoneri use.

As the official website reports, a delegation from DR Congo – led by Minister of Tourism Didier Mazenga Mukanzu and with the participation of the Congolese Ambassador to Italy Paul-Emile Tshinga Ahuka – met with Chairman Paolo Scaroni at San Siro on Sunday.

They were there to discuss the progress and future prospects of the partnership between the club and the Government of the country. It comes not long after the Rossoneri’s trip to Kinshasa, which highlighted the shared commitment across the various project areas of the collaboration.

In the capital of the DRC – at the residence of the Italian Ambassador to the Democratic Republic of the Congo – Dino Sorrentino, Fondazione Milan and Fondazione Mama Sofia presented current and future initiatives to institutions, NGOs, media, and local stakeholders.

During the visit to Kinshasa, the Club also organised a workshop dedicated to sharing the principles, values, and methodologies of the AC Milan Academy project with about 50 local coaches.

In Milan, during the meeting at San Siro, the stadium also hosted an experience dedicated to the culinary culture of DR Congo. This initiative is part of the effort to promote Congolese cultural and tourism heritage, highlighting the uniqueness of the territory and the extraordinary biodiversity of the largest country in Central Africa.
