The 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships, also known colloquially by its former official title, the World Junior Championships, will be an international athletics competition for athletes qualifying as juniors (born no earlier than 1 January 2005). The event is due to be staged in Lima, Peru from 27 to 31 August 2024. On 5 April 2023 it was announced that the city had initially withdrawn as a host of the 2024 World Athletics U20 Championships due to "recent political instability, social unrest and natural disasters".^[1]^[2] However on 14 August 2023, Lima was reinstated as host city for the event as all the issues were stabilised.^[3]
