Formula One is set to return to Africa following a new agreement between Rwanda and the racing organization. Rwanda has secured a 10-year deal to host Grand Prix events, with plans to construct a dedicated racing facility on the outskirts of the capital city, Kigali. While specific dates and financial terms of the contract remain undisclosed, the move aligns with Formula One’s broader strategy to expand its global footprint and re-establish a presence in Africa, where the sport has not held a race since 1993.

The project involves the development of a purpose-built track, a significant infrastructure undertaking for the nation. This development is part of a wider trend of Middle Eastern and African nations investing heavily in high-profile international sporting events to boost tourism and global visibility. As the sport continues to grow in popularity, the addition of a Rwandan circuit is expected to be a major milestone for African motorsport enthusiasts. Further details regarding the track design and the timeline for construction are expected to be released as the project progresses toward the 2030s target window.
