AFI vice president Anju Bobby George said that as the country plans to bid for the 2036 Olympics, hosting the 2029 Athletics Worlds would be very good. 

India to bid for 2029 World Athletics Championships 

AFI vice president Anju Bobby George said that as the country plans to bid for the 2036 Olympics, hosting the 2029 Athletics Worlds would be very good.&nbsp;

India is set to bid for the 2029 World Athletics Championships after dropping its earlier intention to host the 2027 edition of the prestigious tournament, a top official of the national federation said on Sunday.
The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) was earlier considering to bid for the hosting rights of the 2027 World Athletics Championships but it is now learnt that it has dropped the plan and is instead looking to host the 2029 edition.
"Yes, we are interested in bidding for the 2029 World Athletics Championships," AFI senior Vice President Anju Bobby George told PTI, on the sidelines on the sidelines of the AFI Annual General Body meeting.
"India has expressed interest to host the 2036 Olympics and 2030 Youth Olympics. So, it will be very good if we can host the 2029 World Athletics Championships," said the legendary long jumper.
The time period for the formal bidding for the 2029 World Athletics Championships is not known yet. The World Athletics has published the bidding timeline for the 2027 World Athletics Championships -- which began early this year -- but not for the 2029 edition.
The last edition of the World Athletics Championships was held in Budapest, Hungary in August and the next one will be held in 2025 in Tokyo.

Athletics Federation of India President Adille Sumariwalla confirmed that India will make the decision on the final bid for hosting the 2027 World Athletics Championships in the next couple of days.

Athletics Federation of India yet to submit formal bid for hosting World Athletics Championships in 2027

<h2>Athletics Federation of India President Adille Sumariwalla confirmed that India will make the decision on the final bid for hosting the 2027 World Athletics Championships in the next couple of days.</h2>

The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) will take a few more days to deliberate and reach a decision about submitting a formal bid to host the World Athletics Championships in 2027, as confirmed by AFI's President Adille Sumariwalla.
The previous edition of the World Athletics Championships took place in Budapest, Hungary, and the upcoming championships are scheduled for Japan in 2025, with India strongly considering a formal bid to host the event.
"We have not made a formal bid," Sumariwalla conveyed to PTI during an event jointly organised by AFI and the World Athletics (WA).
"We are discussing that internally and in the next couple of days, we will finalise that," added Sumariwalla.
In addition to vying for the 2027 World Athletics Championships, India is also preparing to submit a formal bid to host the 2036 Olympics. WA President and International Olympic Committee (IOC) member, Sebastian Coe, expressed his desire to witness the Games being hosted in India.
"I would love to see the Olympic Games coming to India," stated Coe.
He stressed upon the significance of India in the context of athletics' development and stressed the importance of India hosting global events.
"It is very important that the countries that have the ability, the economics, the political will and the sporting passion to stage events... I also want to see India stage as many of our events as possible. This is important for us. You have one of the largest populations in the world and you have a very strong economy," Coe said.
With its sizeable population and strong economy, India stands as a crucial entity in the world of sports, particularly in athletics. The move to host global events is not just significant personally but also instrumental for the development of athletics, Coe emphasised, expressing his keenness for India to play a pivotal role in global athletics.

As Neeraj Chopra gets set for the World Athletics Championships starting July 15, the Tokyo Olympics gold medallist talked about how no athlete is immune to pressure.
In an interview with the Times of India, Neeraj said that some athletes simply accept that they are under pressure ahead of an event while others just shut themselves out. 'I have never said that I don't feel the pressure when performing on a big stage like the World Championships as it's very natural. But, the real deal is to have that clarity of thoughts and stay calm even during a challenging situation,' added the 24-year-old.
Neeraj however said that he would look to compete at the World Championships with a pressure-free mindset and won't get complacent by the fact that he is an Olympic champion.
The men’s javelin throw at World Championship is scheduled to start with the qualification rounds on July 21, with the final scheduled for July 23.
