The World Athletics Council has reinstated Lima as the host city of the 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Peruvian Athletics Federation informed World Athletics in April this year that political instability and social unrest at that time, as well as natural disasters in Peru, had left the federation and the local organising committee (LOC) unable to stage the event next year.

The situation has stabilised in Lima and with strong backing from the Peruvian Government, the Peruvian Federation has confirmed that it is now able to host the event from 26-31 August 2024 as previously scheduled.
