Khater Sports: Partner in Sports Development in Africa

Engineer Yehia Radwan, the Managing Director of Khater Sports, stated that based on the strategic decision of the Board of Directors of Khater Sports, headed by Dr. Alaa Idris, and in line with the Egyptian state's direction towards African markets, and by the grace of God, the efforts of Khater Sports over more than two years have been crowned with the Ugandan government's assignment of the construction of Aki-Bua Stadium to the Egyptian consortium led by the National Construction Company (SAMCO), with the participation of Khater Sports and Al-Raed Engineering Consultancy.

The efforts and guidance of Ambassador Mohamed Hamzawy had the greatest impact in securing this project and confirming the ability of Egyptian companies to compete with Turkish and Chinese companies in completing major projects.

The journey to open African markets began with exploratory visits to Uganda, where a series of meetings were held with political and sports leaders and businessmen.

This was followed by a visit from the Ugandan Minister of State for Sports to Cairo in May 2023. These visits culminated in an Egyptian consortium between Khater Sports, the National Construction Company (SAMCO), and Al-Raed Engineering Consultancy. As a result, the Egyptian consortium submitted an official bid to construct the "Aki-Bua" Stadium in November 2023.

In February 2024, the Egyptian consortium was hosted by the Ugandan President to assign the construction of the "Aki-Bua" sports stadium. In June 2024, a joint inspection committee from the Ugandan Ministries of Sports and Public Works visited Cairo at the headquarters of Khater Sports and visited some of the company's important projects, such as the Olympic City project and the Suez Canal Authority Stadium. As a result, Khater Sports was approved as a key partner for the construction of specialized sports facilities for the entire project due to its extensive experience in the field, spanning thirty-seven years.

It is worth mentioning that Khater Sports is a pioneer in sports infrastructure in Egypt and the Arab region. The company is distinguished by its extensive experience in designing, constructing, and operating advanced sports facilities, including sports stadiums, multipurpose sports centers, Olympic stadiums, and landscaping in collaboration with global partners.

Thanks to its distinguished team of engineers and technicians, Khater Sports successfully completes its projects on time and to the highest quality standards. This project represents a qualitative leap for the Egyptian construction industry in the field of sports facilities, especially after Turkish and Chinese companies dominated this sector in recent years. We look forward to more similar projects that enhance Egypt's position as a regional power in the field of construction and building
