Nairobi to Host 2029 World Athletics Championships, Munich to Host 2031 Event
Nairobi will host the World Athletics Championships in 2029, marking the first time the event takes place on African soil. Kenya, known for its strong athletics tradition, especially in distance running, was selected over other cities including London and Rome. The championships will return to Munich, Germany, in 2031. World Athletics President Sebastian Coe praised Nairobi's passionate fan base and existing infrastructure, while Kenyan officials welcomed the opportunity to showcase the country's sporting identity. This decision follows Africa hosting other major athletics events in recent years.
