Bole Zonal Stadium to cost half a billion birr

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia – The Addis Abeba Youth Sport Bureau has commissioned the construction of a zonal stadium at Ayat – a locality of Bole District – at the cost of half a billion birr.

Zamra Construction, a local grade one contractor, has signed an agreement with the Bureau to construct the stadium. Upon completion, in two and a quarter years, it will host 25,000-30,000 spectators.

Bureau Head, Nigatu Dagnachew, and Awot Kidane, Deputy CEO of Zamra Construction, signed the deal last week.

The stadium is one of five zonal stadiums planned to be built in the city. The other four will be constructed in the Yeka, Nifas Silk Lafto, Gullele and Aqaqi Kality sub cities.

These five projects are an addition to the existing two stadiums in the city – the Abebe Bikila stadium and the Yidnekachew Tesema stadium.
