Protests expected as German weapons maker Rheinmetall inks deal with Borussia Dortmund

The deal has been met with widespread criticism, with many fans and activists calling for it to be canceled.

German weapons manufacturer Rheinmetall has signed a three-year sponsorship deal with top football club Borussia Dortmund, the club announced on Monday. The deal is reportedly worth €10 million per year and will see Rheinmetall's logo appear on the club's jerseys and at its home stadium, Signal Iduna Park.

The deal has been met with widespread criticism, with many fans and activists calling for it to be canceled. They argue that it is inappropriate for a football club to be associated with a company that profits from war and conflict. Rheinmetall is one of the world's largest arms manufacturers, and its products have been used in conflicts around the world.
