Formula 1 has confirmed that Rwanda will host a race as part of a new 10-year partnership. While specific dates and track locations have not yet been finalized, the organization stated that the event is expected to take place in the early 2030s. This agreement marks a significant milestone for the sport, as it will be the first time a Formula 1 race has been held in Africa in over four decades. The last time the continent hosted a Grand Prix was in 1993 at the Kyalami circuit in South Africa.

Both BBC Sport and Sky Sports report the deal as a major expansion for the sport's global footprint. There are no disagreements between the sources regarding the duration of the contract or the timeline for the event. Both outlets frame the development as a return to Africa, emphasizing the long hiatus since the sport last visited the region. While the announcement confirms the partnership, neither outlet provided details regarding the financial terms of the deal or the specific infrastructure plans currently underway in Rwanda to accommodate the requirements of a modern Formula 1 circuit.
