Sports Cabinet Secretary Hassan Wario has said that Kenya will bid to host the 2023 World Athletic Championships.

“We are more than capable of hosting a world event and we are looking to bid for the 2023 World Championships,” said Wario.

Wario was speaking during a reception for Team Kenya, who finished second at the World Championships in London on Sunday.

According to the CS, the decision was arrived at after successfully hosting the World Under-18 Championships at the Moi International Sports Centre (MISC), Kasarani last month.

Qatar will host the next championship in 2019 while Eugene, Oregon will host the 2021 edition.
