West Ham urged to show ‘heart and soul’ over London 2029 World Athletics bid
The Story So Far
West Ham United are involved in negotiations regarding London's potential bid to stage the 2029 World Athletics Championships. To facilitate the event, the club would need to vacate its home ground for roughly a fourteen-day period during September of that year. While London is considered a top candidate for the tournament, the proposal has encountered resistance because the competition coincides with the start of the domestic league calendar. Organizers have called for the club to show greater flexibility to support the capital's hosting prospects. Important discussions are expected to take place in June, aiming for a resolution that balances stadium usage between athletics and competitive league fixtures.
