Nairobi to host 2029 Athletics Championship
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) announced that Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, has been selected to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships, making it the first African city to organize this global event. The choice came after its bid outperformed those from London, Munich, and Rome, in a closely competitive vote among four bids from Nairobi, Munich, London, and Rome. This event is historic, as it allows the next three editions of the championships to be held on three different continents (Asia in 2027, Africa in 2029, and Europe in 2031). It also promotes the development of athletics in Kenya and Africa, and leaves a sporting legacy that aims to inspire future generations.
