Grant Description
Chinese Government provides RMB 500 million interest-free loan for Zimpeto National Stadium Construction Project On February 8, 2007, the Chinese Government provided an interest-free loan to the Government of Mozambique for the Zimpeto National Stadium Construction Project.
The Chinese Government also committed several additional interest-free loans for this project, which reportedly totaled to RMB 500 million. This project involved the construction of a stadium with 42,000 seats in the outlying Maputo suburb of Zimpeto. Anhui Foreign Economic Construction Group (AFECC) was the contractor responsible for implementation.
A groundbreaking ceremony took place on April 22, 2008. However, construction did not begin until November 2008.
Construction ended in November 2010 and the project was officially completed and handed over to the authorities on January 17, 2011. An opening ceremony for the stadium was then held on May 23, 2011.
