The 10th edition of the International Armature Athletics Federation World U18 championships kicks off at Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani, Nairobi on Wednesday July 12, 2007 and ends on July 16, 2017.
Benefits accruing from successfully organising and hosting such a large-scale event cannot be gainsaid. First, it reaffirms Kenya’s position as an athletics powerhouse globally. Second, the large number of participants guarantees not just a boost for our economy, but our tourism industry as well, with over 2,000 from 159 countries expected to attend.
