# Athletics: The World Championships will head to Africa for the first time in 2029, when it will be hosted by the Kenyan capital of Nairobi. World Athletics also awarded the 2031 edition to Munich in Germany. Nairobi has hosted the World Under-18 Championships in 2017 and the Under-20 Championship four years later, but lost the bid to Tokyo in Japan for last year’s senior event. 2029’s championships will take place at the Kasarani Stadium, which is already being renovated for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations soccer tournament.
