Here is Kigali’s ultra-modern in-door arena which has mesmerized Kenyans
Stunning photos of Rwanda’s ultra-modern in-door stadium built in six months has mesmerized Kenyans on Twitter.
The indoor stadium, which has a sitting capacity of about 10,000 people, is among Africa’s top 10 indoor sports venues and the biggest in East Africa.
The Kigali Arena, which was inaugurated by President Paul Kagame is a joint venture between the Government of Rwanda and Turkish Investment Company, Summa.
The Kigali Arena is a multi-purpose facility that will be used to host indoor games, but can also host meetings, conferences, exhibitions and concerts.
Can’t believe this sports complex was started and finished before the year ends. In just 6 months #KigaliArena is fully up and glittering.
