At a meeting of the IAAF Council on March 25, 2007 in Mombasa ( Kenya ), it was announced that applications had been received for hosting the 2010 championship from two countries - Turkey and Qatar . At the next meeting of the council, November 25, 2007 in Monaco , the host country was chosen - Qatar.
The 2010 Qatar World Cup was the first World Athletics Championship held in the Middle East and the second Indoor World Championship held outside Europe and North America (after the 1999 Japan Championship).
The arena for the championship was the Espeire Dome stadium in Doha , built in 2005 and accommodating 15 thousand spectators. This stadium previously hosted the 2006 Asian Games and the 2008 Asian Indoor Track and Field Championships.
