On October 22, 2019, Athletics Kenya Chairman Barnabas Korir announced plans to establish a training camp in Mombasa to aid preparations for the 2024 World Under 20 Athletics Championships in Nairobi.
The camp will be located at Ziwani School for the Physically Handicapped, as announced by Anisa Abdalla, Athletics Kenya Mombasa County chairperson.
This is the second training camp in the Coast region, following the Kijiwetanga Primary School camp in Malindi, Kilifi County.
Construction work on the ultra-modern Mombasa stadium, valued at Sh1.7 billion, has resumed after being put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The project is expected to be completed in 16 months, according to Mombasa County sports executive Innocent Mugabe.
