The World Athletics Council has selected Tokyo, Japan, to host the 2025 World Athletics Championships.
Tokyo has been announced as the host city after beating rival bids from Nairobi, Singapore and Silesia.
The 18th edition of the World Athletics Championships began in Oregon on Friday, 15th July, while Budapest in Hungary will host the 2023 event.
On the second day of the 228th World Athletics Council Meeting in Oregon, USA, the Council also announced that the 2024 World Athletics Cross Country Championships would be held in Medulin and Pula in Croatia, and the 2026 World Athletics Cross Country Championships will be held in Tallahassee, Florida.
The 2025 World Athletics Championships will see the sport’s biggest stars return to Tokyo’s Olympic Stadium, the venue for last year’s Olympic Games, in the year that the Japanese Association of Athletics Federations (JAAF) celebrates its centenary year.
Tokyo will have the opportunity to fill its Olympic stadium in 2025 with athletics fans who were denied the opportunity to attend the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games due to pandemic restrictions.
