World Athletics Championships debut in Africa: Nairobi 2029

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo15 September 2026 at 12:56

Kenya will host in 2029 the first World Athletics Championships in history held in Africa. The Kenyan capital, Nairobi, was confirmed as the host of the international sporting event.

The world championship will be held at Kasarani Stadium, which is currently undergoing a complete renovation. The works aim to adapt the infrastructure to host a competition of global dimensions.

The choice of Nairobi represents a historic milestone for the African continent, which has never hosted this benchmark event of world athletics. The host country is internationally known for its strong tradition in long-distance and middle-distance athletics.

Why this matters

For the first time in history, the World Athletics Championships takes place in Africa, bringing elite athletics to a continent that has produced many of the world's greatest runners. Nairobi is investing in the renovation of Kasarani Stadium, which could boost local sports development and attract international visitors.
