ASA President intends to meet SA Minister to discuss hosting of World Athletics event

Date: Sep 5, 2024

Athletics South Africa (ASA) President James Moloi intends to meet with Minister of Sports, Arts, and Culture Gayton McKenzie to discuss potential funding for hosting a World Athletics Gold Label event in SA next year.

Following ASA's success at the Paris Olympic Games, where they secured two medals, and their impressive haul of seven medals at the World Athletics Under-20 Championships in Lima, Moloi aims to build on this momentum by organizing a major event on home soil. However, securing government funding is essential to make this vision a reality.

Yes, immediately after this performance of these kids, we will have a meeting with our government with the Minister because we need support from the Minister's side and see which event we can suggest because we have a Diamond League, Gold Label meet, we have a Silver Label if we can identify which event to host.
