Tokyo has beaten its competition from Singapore, Nairobi and Silesia to be chosen as the host of the 2025 World Athletics Championships.

The event will return to the site of last year's Olympic Games in the year that the Japanese Association of Athletics Federations (JAAF) celebrates its centenary.

"Within an extremely strong field of candidates Tokyo offered a compelling bid,” World Athletics president Sebastian Coe said after the decision of WA's ruling Council.

“I hope this will be a shining light for Japan as they celebrate 100 years of the JAAF in 2025, by bringing world-class athletics back to the people in Tokyo.”

Tokyo held the event in 1991, highlighted by the world record breaking long jump duel between gold medallist Mike Powell and Carl Lewis, while it was also held in Japan in 2007 with Osaka hosting.
