"The U20 Championships showcase the future of our sport so Kenya, with a young and enthusiastic population and such a rich history in athletics, is a perfect fit for us", Coe said.

"We hope that awarding these championships will further encourage the development of athletics in Kenya and all over Africa, which is such a vibrant part of our international federation".

A total of 131 countries participated in the five-day event which recorded the highest turn out in a youth and junior championship.
