The 2016 World U20 Championships in Athletics is an international athletics competition for athletes qualifying as juniors (born no earlier than 1 January 1997) due to take place in Bydgoszcz, Poland on 19–24 July 2016.[1]
The championships were originally awarded to Kazan, Russia before the hosting rights were withdrawn as a result of ARAF being suspended by the IAAF.[2] Since then, three cities expressed an interest in hosting the championships;[3] on 7 January 2016, the decision was made to reallocate the championships to Bydgoszcz as it was the only city to submit a bid.[1]
