Aston Villa's CEO Defends Rwanda Sponsorship Amid Criticism

Aston Villa's CEO, Francesco Calvo, is defending their new deal with Visit Rwanda, worth nearly £20 million a year. Critics say it's 'sportswashing' due to Rwanda's human rights issues, but Calvo believes this partnership can inspire Rwandans and boost football in East Africa while staying true to the club's values.
