[Source: AFL Architects] AFL Architects are proud to announce that we are working on designing a state-of-the-art sports city in Fumba, Zanzibar. Commissioned by the Ministry of Information, Youth, Culture, and Sport, this transformative development will establish Zanzibar as a leading destination for sport, tourism, and major events.
At the heart of the project is a multi-use StadiArena stadium, designed for sustainability and versatility. In addition to hosting football matches, the stadium will accommodate concerts, conferences, and a range of sporting events, ensuring year-round activation and long-term economic benefits for the region. The wider development includes training pitches, a four-star hotel, a hospital, and a small passenger port, creating a hub for both local and international events.
Nick Oliver, Managing Director of Globespan Infrastructure, the project’s prime contract holder, shared: “It is a delight to be working with a world-class stadium architect such as AFL, bringing their expertise to a project that will have a lasting impact on Zanzibar’s sports and events landscape.”
With construction set to commence soon, this landmark project will shape a dynamic and future-ready sports destination for Zanzibar.
