Amaan Stadium, Sport stadium in Zanzibar City, Tanzania.
Amaan Stadium is the main sports facility of Zanzibar featuring a modern running track, colored plastic seats arranged in three horizontal stripes, and covered stands. It accommodates approximately 15,000 spectators and serves as home ground for several local football teams.
The facility was built in 1970 with Chinese assistance, marking the start of China's stadium diplomacy in Africa. Extensive renovations took place in 2010 and 2023 to modernize the venue.
The stadium serves as the setting for annual Revolution Day celebrations on January 12, drawing crowds for national ceremonies and significant political gatherings. It functions as a focal point for public events in the city.
The stadium is accessible during football matches and major events, with local teams like KMKM FC and Miembeni SC regularly competing there. Visitors should check game schedules in advance and arrive early, as popular matches can fill to capacity quickly.
A Turkish company completed extensive upgrades in 2023 that prepared the stadium for hosting the 2024 African Nations Championship. The tournament was jointly organized by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, making the venue an important international competition site.
