Breaking news: history has been made

Nairobi, Kenya, has been awarded the hosting rights for the 2029 World Athletics Championships, bringing the world’s premier athletics event to the heart of Africa.

For a nation that has given the world some of its greatest champions, this is more than a sporting event. It is a homecoming.

From the high-altitude training grounds of Iten and the running trails of Kenya’s Rift Valley to Nairobi’s global stage, the world will experience the passion, talent, culture and hospitality that make Kenya an athletics powerhouse.

A defining moment for tourism through sports

For Sports Tourism Limited, Nairobi 2029 is a defining moment for Tourism Through Sports.

The 2029 World Athletics Championships will create enormous opportunities across:

  • Hospitality and accommodation
  • Sports travel and fan tourism
  • Transport and mobility
  • Events and experiences
  • Business and investment
  • Destination marketing
  • Jobs and youth opportunities
  • Africa’s global sports positioning

The world is coming to Kenya — and we must be ready to welcome, move, host and connect it.

Nairobi 2029 is not just about athletics. It is about the power of sport to drive tourism, business, investment, jobs and destination growth.

At Sports Tourism Limited, we believe the future belongs to destinations that know how to turn major sporting events into lasting economic and tourism opportunities.

Building Kenya’s capacity to host the world

Special appreciation goes to the Government of Kenya, under the leadership of H.E. President William Samoei Ruto, and the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports, led by H.E. Salim Mvurya, for the decisive sports infrastructure development initiatives and strategic investments that have strengthened Kenya’s capacity to host world-class sporting events.

These investments have been instrumental in positioning Nairobi and Kenya to secure this prestigious opportunity and showcase our country on the global athletics stage.

With AFCON and the 2029 World Athletics Championships ahead, Kenya’s moment on the global sporting stage is here.
