Making sense of Rwanda’s investment in sports & Entertainment facilities w/ BK Arena's Kyle Scofield

The Long Form with Sanny Ntayombya

The Government’s investment in building a world class conference and sporting ecosystem is obvious. It has spent a reported 300 million dollars on the Convention Center, 104 million dollars on the BK Arena and is spending around 130 million dollars on renovating the Amahoro Stadium. This is in addition to the close to a billion dollars that has been spent on upgrading Kanombe airport and increasing the Rwandair fleet.

Some people will say, that that was money that could have been better spent building roads, schools and health centres. Others on the other hand believe that the money being spent is well-worth the investment.

To bring to life the second argument, we are joined by Kyle Scofield, Co-founder & Managing Director of QA Venue Solutions. QA Venue Solutions signed a 7 year agreement with the Government of Rwanda to manage BK Arena in 2020.
