Rwanda Signs 10-Year Deal to Bring Formula 1 Back to Africa in Early 2030s

Content overview: “Rwanda Signs 10-Year Deal to Bring Formula 1 Back to Africa in Early 2030s”. Rwanda has signed a 10-year agreement with Formula 1 to host Grand Prix races, marking the return of F1 to Africa for the first time since 1993. The deal, announced by F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali and Rwandan President Paul Kagame, will see races held in the East African nation starting in the early 2030s. A new circuit is planned near the capital, Kigali, designed to meet F1's stringent standards.

The move is part of Rwanda's broader strategy to boost tourism and position itself as a hub for sports and entertainment in Africa. It also fulfills a long-standing ambition for F1 to have a race on the continent, which has been absent from the calendar since the South African Grand Prix at Kyalami in 1993. For the complete material, the listing points back to the source inside the network.
