The 2025 World Aquatics Championships, the 22nd edition of the World Aquatics Championships, will be held in Kallang, Singapore, in 2025.[1] Originally to be held in Kazan, Russia, the championships were relocated to Singapore on 9 February 2023 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

It is the first city in Southeast Asia to have ever host the world championships.

Host selection

On 21 July 2019, World Aquatics (then FINA) selected Kazan as the host, the same day with Budapest, Hungary which was selected for 2027.[2] however due to the response of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Kazan were stripped from hosting rights. Singapore was selected to replace Kazan on 9 February 2023.[3]

Venues

Most of the competitions will be held at the Singapore Sports Hub built for the 2015 Southeast Asian Games and has hosted multiple major events since then.[4]
