Rwanda cricket stadium

Rwanda’s new national cricket stadium’s motto is “sports for all.” The stadium has a symbolic significance as a step towards achieving the country’s goal of moving from an agriculture-based economy to development with a local workforce. The stadium located at Kigali welcomes citizens of all ages to play cricket and improve and gain sports and life skills. The project aims to build self-confidence, create new local labour-intensive construction jobs, use local materials, and lower carbon. Thus, most of the materials in the stadium project were sourced locally. Rwanda Cricket Stadium is vital to diversifying the country’s economy, strengthening social cohesion, and promoting the sports for reconciliation after the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
