The Kenyan capital won the tug-of-war for the 2029 World Championships against the European trio of London, Munich and Rome.
The World Athletics Championships have been held since 1983, but this will be the first time that a country in Africa will host the championships.
Munich did not miss out by chance. The German city has been awarded the 2031 World Championships, the International Association of Athletics Federations (World Athletics) announced in a press release.
The next World Championships will be held in September next year in Beijing.
