Nairobi has been selected to host the 2029 World Athletics Championships, marking the first time an African city will host the event. World Athletics president Sebastian Coe announced the decision after a council meeting in Budapest, describing it as difficult due to four outstanding bids for 2029 and 2031. Coe said Nairobi presented a compelling and emotional bid and that bringing the championships to Africa for the first time is historic. London missed out despite proposing the London Stadium as its venue.
