Formula One will return to the African continent for the first time since 1993, after Rwanda signed a ten‑year agreement to host a Grand Prix in the early 2030s.
The deal, announced by Rwandan authorities, will see the country added to the international racing calendar, with the inaugural race scheduled to take place sometime in the early 2030s.
Rwanda’s agreement marks a significant milestone for African motorsport, as the nation becomes the latest country to secure a Formula One event after decades of absence from the sport’s global schedule.
While details of the circuit layout and exact dates remain to be confirmed, the ten‑year contract provides a long‑term framework for the development of racing infrastructure and the promotion of the sport within the region.
With the return of Formula One to Africa, the sport’s organizers aim to broaden their reach and tap into new markets, following a long hiatus that began in 1993.
