This market resolves to YES if an African country officially hosts a Formula 1 Grand Prix race by December 31, 2027. Resolution will be based on official announcements from Formula 1 or the FIA confirming an African country as a host venue.

Update 2025-02-11 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Clarification on Event Requirements:
Mandatory Session: The host event must have at least one session (e.g., free practice or qualifying) held.
Cancellation Impact: If the entire race is cancelled without any session taking place, the event will not count, even if it was officially scheduled.
Partial Event Consideration: If some sessions are held but the full race is cancelled due to circumstances such as weather, the event will still count as having been hosted.
1,000@AlexanderTheGreater No, it doesn't count. The Grand Prix event must be held, at least one session. For example, if FP and/or qualifying sessions are held, but the full race is cancelled due to weather or other major events, it still counts as the event is held there.
I'll update the resolution criteria
