    Rwanda Housing Authority (RHA) has confirmed that the construction of the long awaited state-of-the-art Gahanga Olympic Stadium will kick off later this year.

    The Rwanda Housing Authority (RHA) Director General, Eng. Didier Sagashya told the this website that the Gahanga Olympic Stadium is among multi-million dollar projects that by been contracted to Rwanda Housing Authority by the Rwandan Government.

    He said, “We have developed the concepts and the next step is the feasibility study. Our plan is to make sure that the stadium together with the construction of the Rwanda International Exhibition Pack can fit on the same piece of land.”

    “We are going to meet with the Ministry of Sports and Culture and other partners so that we can discuss about the project designed concepts,” he explained.

    The project will be funded by the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Sports and Culture, Private Sector Federation (PSF), who have already mobilized funds.

    The estimated budget of the whole project is around US $120m with the rate of inflation taken in consideration. US $60million will be spent on Olympic stadium while $50 million will be spent on the exhibition park.”
