Africa is planning to make a bid to host the 2017 World Athletics Championships on the back of the success of this year’s World Cup, officials have announced.
African Athletics Confederation president Hamad Kalkaba Malboum said: "Morocco is most likely to bid for the 2017 world championships and, if they do, we think they can win.
"We are encouraged by the recent Fifa World Cup in South Africa.
"Besides Morocco, we know that South Africa, Nigeria, Algeria and Egypt can all stage a successful World Championships but because Morocco tried the bid for 2015, we think they stand a good chance in 2017."
The event has never been staged in Africa.
