Nairobi to host 2029 World Athletics Championships, a first for Africa
–
Neutral summary
World Athletics has named Kenya's capital Nairobi as the host of the 2029 World Athletics Championships, making it the first African city to stage the event, beating bids from London, Rome and Munich. The decision was announced on Tuesday following a council meeting in Budapest, where Munich was awarded the 2031 edition. World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said: “We were fortunate to have four outstanding bids for 2029 and 2031, and this was not an easy decision for the council.” London, whose bid was backed by UK Athletics, the Mayor's office and the government, said it was “deeply disappointed” to miss out.
