Nairobi to Host First African World Athletics Championships in 2029

The decision breaks a geographical barrier since the first championship in 1983 in Helsinki. "We are very fortunate to have four spectacular bids for 2029 and 2031 and the decision was not easy for the Council," acknowledged Sebastian Coe from Budapest, referring to the proposals from Nairobi, Munich, London, and Rome.

This historic announcement represents a significant milestone for African athletics and expands the global footprint of the World Championships. catcross.biz
