Every country and city has its own local spirit and unique conditions, and architectural design reflects the essence of a place. African local architecture uses local materials, deriving inspiration from local traditions and techniques. Rwanda has a rich traditional culture known as "Imigongo," characterized by spirals and geometric patterns, often created in black, white, and red colors. These artistic expressions are commonly found on walls, ceramics, and canvases. Imigongo represents a popular theme within Rwandan culture, showcasing a vibrant tradition of creativity and craftsmanship.

The facades of the renovated stadiums in the project were designed using these patterns from the rich cultural heritage. This was aimed at providing a sense of familiarity and vibrancy to the local population. Additionally, the facades of the multipurpose sports arena, Kigali Arena, located right next to the stadium with a capacity of 10,000 spectators, are also designed with Imigongo patterns. This integration of similar language, color, and texture in the facades of different-sized structures unifies the sports complex.
