India will host the World Indoor Athletics Championships for the first time in 2028 in Bhubaneswar, following the international body's decision at its council meeting in Torun, Poland.
The prestigious event, which features 26 events across three days, will be held at the state-of-the-art indoor facility at the Kalinga Stadium Complex in Bhubaneswar.
India had revealed its bid for the 2028 World Indoor Championships earlier this year, and a two-member team from World Athletics had visited the facility in January.
AFI president Bahadur Singh Sagoo said the development marked the growing stature of Indian athletics on the international stage.
India has also made bids to host the 2028 Asian Indoor Athletics Championships and several other global athletics events, including the 2028 World U20 Athletics Championships and the 2031 World (Senior) Athletics Championships, both in Ahmedabad.
