2025 World Aquatics Championships

The 2025 World Aquatics Championships, the 22nd edition of the World Aquatics Championships, were held in Singapore from 11 July to 3 August 2025. It was the first city in Southeast Asia to host the World Championships.

Host selection On 21 July 2019, World Aquatics (then FINA) selected Kazan, Russia as the host of the championship; the same day as Budapest, Hungary was selected for the 2027 edition. However, on 9 February 2023, Singapore was selected to replace Kazan as host city due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Venues Most of the competitions were held at the Singapore Sports Hub built for the 2015 Southeast Asian Games.

Organisers initially considered hosting the swimming events at the National Stadium or the Singapore Indoor Stadium, but eventually decided to build a temporary venue on the site of Car Park G (known as World Aquatics Championships Arena) for the swimming and artistic swimming events.
