Amaan Stadium opened in 1970 with Chinese government assistance and remains Zanzibar's national football venue, home to the Zanzibar national team and local Premier League clubs. A December 2023 renovation brought new stands, seating, floodlights, a roof, and an athletics track, and the stadium is lined up as a confirmed AFCON 2027 host venue.
The tour takes visitors through the players' tunnel and changing rooms and onto the stands, with a guide covering the stadium's history and Zanzibar's football culture. Paired with attendance at a live match, it becomes a genuine local-sport experience: street food vendors circulate the stands, and the atmosphere is distinctly local rather than touristic.
This is bookable through My Guide Tanzania's platform, timed around the stadium's actual fixture calendar rather than a fixed daily schedule.
