The World Athletics Council has decided on the organizer of the World Walking Team Championships in 2024. The World Walking Race will be hosted by Antalya, Turkey.

The president of World Athletics, Sebastian Coe, justified the awarding of the host with these words. "Turkey has proven to be a very capable organizer of international events in recent years. Turkey managed to host the European Indoor Championships a few weeks ago despite being hit by an earthquake shortly before. 

The World Team Walking Championships will be Turkey's second global athletics summit to be held here. The first was the World Indoor Championships in 2012. It is expected that around five hundred male and female pedestrians from approximately fifty countries will travel to Antalya for this race next year. "The fact that the World Team Walking Championships will be held in Antalya is very important to increase the awareness of athletics in our country and to attract new fans of athletics. We hope that hosting this championship will be another dynamic step forward for Turkish athletics.” stated the president of Turkish athletics, Fatih Cintimar.
