Lahti Confirmed As Hosts Of FIS Nordic World Championships 2029

The FIS Council convened this Thursday in Zurich and formally confirmed the great news that Lahti, in Finland, will host the FIS Nordic World Championships 2029.

Since last month’s Congress – when the appointment was originally scheduled to be announced – the Finnish Ski Association and the city of Lahti worked together to iron out a few remaining details, and today formally signed the hosting agreement.

"Lahti is a landmark destination on our calendar, and we are thrilled to have them lined up as yet another world-class host to our future World Championships" said Johan Eliasch, FIS President

The 2029 edition of the FIS Nordic World Championships will be the eighth to be held in Lahti, which last hosted the event in 2017.

The Council awarded hosting rights to two other upcoming junior events:

• FIS Junior Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined World Championships 2025 – Lake Placid, USA
• FIS Junior and U23 Nordic World Ski Championships 2027 – Shchuchinsk, Kazakhstan
