A gardener near the Addis Abeba Football Stadium waters the greenery around the sporting arena, which has been under renovation for nearly five years. The Stadium was built in 1940 and was home to several African Cup of Nations matches until bigger and better stadiums emerged in other countries across the continent. Under the Ministry of Culture & Sports, renovations have been significantly accelerated over the past two years, and most of the surrounding area has been cleared of makeshift shops. The Adey Abeba Stadium, located on Djibouti St. near the Haya Hulet area, has also been delayed after price surges forced contractual renegotiations with the Chinese contractor. The 62,000-seat stadium project was started in 2015, and the first phase of the project was completed for 2.47 billion Br.
