Tokyo looking forward to host 2025 World Championships.

The World Athletics governing body announced that Tokyo, Japan is going to host the 2025 World Championships.

After beating rival bids Nairobi, Silesia and Singapore, the World Athletics council selected Tokyo to stage the World Championships. This is the second time Tokyo is going to host the prestigious event.

Tokyo's Olympic Stadium will get the chance to host a major athletics event in a packed venue, four years after staging the pandemic-delayed Olympic games in an empty arena.

Tokyo last hosted the World Championships in 1991, in an event best remembered for American long-jumper Mike Powell's world record-breaking leap. 

The 2023 Championships will be held in Budapest.
