Host selection and venue

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]

World Athletics approved the timetable and qualification system for the 2025 World Athletics Championships on 31 July 2024.[13]

Window

The qualifying window for the marathon and 35 km race walk is 5 November 2023 until 4 May 2025. For the 10,000 m, 20 km race walk, combined events and relays, the window runs from 25 February 2024 to 24 August 2025. For all other events, entry standards can be achieved from 1 August 2024 to 24 August 2025.

Entry standards

The qualification system for the championships will be based on a combination of entry standards and world rankings. The entry standards[14] have been set with the aim of qualifying about 50% of the athletes.

The top five finishers at Platinum Label marathons and winners of individual events at area championships (except for the marathon), regardless of marks, will be considered as having achieved the entry standard.

The top three athletes in the 2024–25 World Athletics Cross Country Tour – not qualified through entry standards or other ways – are deemed to be qualified for the 10,000 m.

The 2025 World Athletics Relays scheduled for Guangzhou,China will be used as a qualifying event for the relays with the top 14 teams in each event securing their place at the World Championships.
