Formula 1 announced on 13 October that Rwanda is set to host an African Grand Prix under a 10-year deal at a planned circuit in Bugesera, southeast of Kigali, with the first race expected in the early 2030s. It would bring Formula 1 back to Africa for the first time since 1993.

The circuit is to be purpose-built, and Formula 1 has not specified the first race year. The track and its completion timetable remain plans rather than finished facilities.
