Kip Keino Classic: Kenyatta reaffirms Kenya's ambitions of hosting 2025 Athletics Championships

President Uhuru Kenyatta has reaffirmed Kenya's ambition to host the 2025 World Athletics Championships as he formally launched the Kip Keino Classic at the Kasarani Stadium.

Kenya has already submitted a bid that would see the athletic powerhouse become the first African country to host the global competition.

Inspectors from World Athletics were in Nairobi three weeks ago to assess the quality of Kenya's bid for the championships, with a focus on infrastructure such as stadiums, road networks and hospitality.

Kenya is hosting the Kip Keino Classic for the third time and will look to scale to the Diamond League next year. So far, Morocco is the only country on the continent to host a Diamond League circuit.
