Rwanda to host 2025 World Championship Cycling

Rwanda will host the 2025 Road World Championships, becoming the first African nation to host the event.

The Rwandan President Paul Kagame was in Flanders to meet UCI president David Lappartient and the UCI Director General Amina Lanaya at this year’s Worlds on Thursday morning, and the Rwanda Cycling Federation was quick to announce the news.

Cycling is hugely popular in Rwanda, with a number of riders merging to compete professionally in Europe in recent years.
