2029 World Athletics Championships bidding process

Overview

The bidding process for the 2029 World Athletics Championships has gained momentum with multiple cities competing for the hosting rights.

On August 10, Nairobi formally submitted an official bid, with the Kenyan government pledging support for infrastructure, security, and organizational frameworks. If successful, Nairobi would be the first African city to host the flagship senior global event.

By late August, German athletes, including decathletes Leo Neugebauer and Niklas Kaul, began advocating for Munich to host the championships in either 2029 or 2031. Munich joins Nairobi and London in the competition for the event. Athletes have cited the success of previous events, such as the European Championships and the Istaf in Berlin, as justification for a home championship at the Olympiapark.

World Athletics is expected to announce the host city in September, following the Ultimate Championships in Budapest.
