The championships will use the National Stadium, rebuilt for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. [2]

In October 2019, World Athletics President Sebastian Coe stated consideration of a direct choice for Kenya to host this championship. [7] [8] Kenya confirmed its bid for the championships in October 2021. [3] In 2022, Japan and Singapore entered bids to host the championships. [5] [4] [9] In July 2022, Tokyo was selected by World Athletics to host the 2025 event, [2] after it scored the highest in the bid evaluation. The National Stadium in Tokyo will be the first major spectator event for athletics after the 2020 Summer Olympics were held behind closed doors in response with the then-still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. [10] [11] Coe welcomed the selection, but stated that his "ambition to see a World Championships in Africa .. is undiminished". [12]
Venue
The championships are being held in the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, Japan. [13]
