Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported25m ago
Formula 1 has announced a 10-year agreement with Rwanda to host an African Grand Prix, marking the sport's first return to the continent since the 1990s. The event is expected to significantly elevate Africa's global sports profile and serve as a watershed moment for the region's sports industry, provided it can deliver lasting development.
While analysts view the deal as a major milestone for a continent long overlooked by global sports, the announcement has also drawn criticism from human rights groups. Opponents have characterized the hosting decision as sportswashing under Rwandan President Paul Kagame.
