Formula 1 Eyes Rwanda for Potential Expansion into Africa

Discussions are underway to bring a Grand Prix to Rwanda, despite human rights concerns and infrastructure challenges.

Rwanda is being considered as a host for a Formula 1 Grand Prix, marking a potential return of the sport to Africa since 1993.
Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali emphasizes the need for the right investment and strategic plan before finalizing any decision.
Rwanda's President Paul Kagame has not yet officially commented on the proposal, though he has shown interest in Formula 1 events.
Human rights organizations remain critical of Rwanda's government under Kagame, citing issues like suppression of opposition and journalists.
Infrastructure hurdles, including the lack of a suitable racing track, pose significant challenges to hosting a Grand Prix in Rwanda.
