Nairobi & Munich Host Next World Athletics Championships

World Athletics announced on Tuesday that Nairobi will host the 2029 World Athletics Championships and Munich will host the 2031 edition. This historic decision marks the first time Africa will host the world championships at the absolute level, breaking a geographical barrier since the event's inception in 1983.

President Sebastian Coe acknowledged the difficult decision from Budapest, noting that the Council had four spectacular bids to consider from Nairobi, Munich, London and Rome. The selection represents a significant milestone for athletics development in Africa while maintaining the event's presence in Europe for the 2031 edition. goldparty.lat
