This international stadium, with a seating capacity of 45,000, was officially inaugurated six months ago and began hosting matches in August 2024. These new developments mark a significant milestone for sports infrastructure in the region.
Reliable sources intimated to IGIHE that the installation of VAR equipment has been completed, with testing scheduled for February 2025. During the stadium’s renovation, dedicated spaces for advanced football officiating technology were allocated, ensuring compatibility with modern standards.
A senior official from Rwanda’s football governing body confirmed the progress but refrained from providing an exact completion timeline due to potential challenges in testing the system.
"The installation of VAR is ongoing, but I cannot confirm a specific date for its full operation. It’s better to announce once the system is fully functional and can be demonstrated," the official said.
The official revealed that the Spider Camera will also be installed as planned. However, installation is just one part of the process; ensuring it works perfectly is equally important. “People should understand that such advancements require meticulous preparation," he said.
With these technological upgrades, Amahoro stadium is poised to enhance the experience for both players and fans, further cementing its reputation as a leading sports facility in the region and beyond.
