Rwanda Cricket Stadium, Cricket stadium in Kicukiro District, Kigali, Rwanda.
Rwanda Cricket Stadium in Kicukiro is a modern sports complex with international-standard playing facilities and seating for ten thousand spectators. The grounds include covered seating areas, practice nets, and ample parking spaces for visitors.
The stadium opened in 2017 as the country's first dedicated international cricket venue, marking a turning point for the sport's growth in Rwanda. Its creation reflected efforts to establish the nation as a center for the rapidly developing sport.
The stadium hosts the annual Kwibuka Women's T20 Tournament, which honors victims of the 1994 genocide through sporting events. The sport brings the community together and creates a space for remembrance and renewal.
The venue sits on the outskirts of Kigali and is easily accessible. Visitors will find good parking facilities and covered areas that provide shelter in case of rain.
The stadium's construction was supported by a remarkable feat: national team captain Eric Dusingizimana set a Guinness World Record by batting continuously for 51 hours. This extraordinary achievement helped secure funding for this important sports facility.
