The British government has promised to financially support the World Athletics Championships scheduled to be held in London in 2029. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The competitions may take place at the Olympic Stadium, where the West Ham team hosts its home games. It is not yet clear in which month the competitions will be held, but there is a high probability that it will be in September.
If the application from London is successful, the West Ham team will have to vacate the stadium for a certain period, The Times reported. The West Ham team finished the last season of the English Premier League in 14th place in the competition table.
This decision aims to expand the country's development in sports and the opportunities to host major international events. It is also expected to further boost the development of sports infrastructure and tourism in London.
