Doha to Host 21st FINA World Championships in 2024 – A Showcase of Global Aquatic Excellence

The 21st FINA World Championships are set to make a splash in Doha, Qatar, in 2024, marking the first time the Qatari capital will host FINA’s flagship event. Originally scheduled for the summer of 2023, the event dates were adjusted due to the rescheduling of the 20th FINA World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.

Doha’s selection as the host city comes on the heels of its successful track record in organizing multiple FINA events in recent years, including the 12th FINA World Swimming Championships (25m) in 2014, nine editions of the FINA Swimming World Cup, four FINA Marathon Swim World Series events, and a FINA Diving World Series event in 2009.

With 76 medal events spanning the six FINA disciplines of swimming, open water swimming, artistic swimming, high diving, diving, and water polo, Doha is poised to provide an exceptional setting for this global showcase of aquatic excellence. The championships will also play a crucial role in the qualification journey for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, offering athletes in the mentioned swimming categories valuable opportunities to secure their places on the world stage. For those planning to attend the event, book resorts in Doha the likes of Banana Island Resort Doha well in advance.
