Fans can now purchase their tickets for the World Athletics U20 Championships Lima 24, which will be held from 27 to 31 August at the Estadio Atletico de la Videna.
Lima will host the World Athletics U20 Championships for the first time, bringing together more than 1500 athletes from around the world at the Estadio Atletico de la Villa Deportiva Nacional.
The venue, built for the Lima 2019 Pan American Games, has capacity for 7500 people and will welcome athletes, family members and sports fans between 27 and 31 August. To make the event accessible to local fans and those accompanying their respective national delegations, the organising committee has established different ticket categories.
Tickets are very affordable, with prices of 25 soles ($6.69) for adults and 5 soles ($1.34) for children per session. It's important to note that all days will have morning and afternoon sessions, except for Sunday 31 August, which will only have an evening session.
Additionally, there will be a special promotion for families and children. Children up to 14 years old can enter for free when accompanied by an adult who has purchased their ticket. Adults can reserve a maximum of two promotions of this type in a single purchase.
"This historic event, of national interest, gives us the opportunity to leave a legacy to Peruvian sports. In that sense, the presence of children as spectators of the World Championships is essential, as sports inspire and promote values," said Javier Chirinos, President of the Peruvian Athletics Federation.
Tickets are available via the event website.
