Formula 1 is officially set to return to the African continent for the first time since 1993, with a groundbreaking Grand Prix scheduled to take place in Rwanda in the early 2030s. The sport has successfully finalized a massive 10-year agreement with Rwanda to host a championship round in the nation. The last time Africa hosted an F1 race was back in 1993 during the South African Grand Prix held at Kyalami, where Alain Prost claimed a memorable victory.
This landmark announcement directly answers a long-standing aspiration voiced by Lewis Hamilton, who has consistently campaigned for the premier open-wheel racing series to reestablish its presence in Africa. By adding Rwanda to the forthcoming calendar, the championship will officially race across every inhabited continent, bringing the thrill of motorsport closer than ever to a passionate fanbase that has waited decades for this return.
F1 Chief Executive Stefano Domenicali described the milestone as a defining moment for the sport. He emphasized that from the very beginning, the organization was fully determined to return to Africa in the right way, partnering with the right stakeholders, securing a long-term commitment, and establishing a clear vision designed to create a deeply meaningful local impact.
Domenicali expressed profound gratitude to Rwandan President Paul Kagame, the Rwandan government, the Rwanda Development Board, FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem, and all collaborative partners whose dedication turned this ambitious vision into an absolute reality. The project extends far beyond hosting a weekend race, aiming to generate lasting economic and social benefits through tourism, targeted investments, skills training, and regional business expansion.
With Africa serving as home to more than 100 million rapidly growing F1 enthusiasts, the upcoming venture into Rwanda promises to deliver the ultimate excitement, energy, and drama to millions who have eagerly awaited the sport's homecoming. The historic partnership sets the stage for an extraordinary new chapter in global motorsport history.
