Vietnam will host the 14th Asian Youth Athletics Championships in July, reported the Vietnam Athletics Federation (VAF).

During the Asian Athletics Association’s recent meeting in Maldives, the VAF submitted a plan to organise the championship at My Dinh National Stadium in Hanoi from July 1-4.

Vietnam was given the authority to organise the event after successfully hosting big international tournaments including the Asian Grand Prix 2008’s third round, the Southeast Asian Youth Athletics Championship 2009 and the Asian Indoor Games 2009./.
