Former England and Manchester United footballer Rio Ferdinand was widely criticised for a May 2026 trip to Tanzania, with campaigners accusing him of "sportswashing" for the government. [1]
The backlash centers on the following specifics:
Human rights groups and commentators are publicly calling on Ferdinand to use his global platform to speak out about ongoing rights violations in the country rather than lending his star power to the administration. [1]
- The Host: Ferdinand's visit was hosted by Tanzania's Minister of Culture, Arts, and Sports, Paul Makonda. Makonda was sanctioned by the U.S. government in 2020 for gross human rights violations and the oppression of political opposition and marginalized individuals.
- Sportswashing Allegations: Campaigners argue that Ferdinand's high-profile presence risks rehabilitating the government's international image while responsible parties for past crackdowns on protesters and freedom of speech face no accountability.
- The Visit's Purpose: According to his representatives, Ferdinand was invited by President Samia Suluhu Hassan to support youth football development and promote the country ahead of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). [1]
