The 2025 World Aquatics Championships, the 22nd edition of the World Aquatics Championships, were held in Singapore from 11 July to 3 August 2025. [1] It is the first city in Southeast Asia to host the World Championships.
On 21 July 2019 World Aquatics (then FINA) selected Kazan, Russia as the host, the same day as Budapest, Hungary which was selected for 2027. [2] However, on 9 February 2023 Singapore was selected to replace Kazan as host city due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [3] [4] [5]
Most of the competitions is being held at the Singapore Sports Hub built for the 2015 Southeast Asian Games. [6] [7]
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. [7] [8]
The theme of the 2025 World Aquatics Championships being held in Singapore is "Water Shapes Us". [10]
On 2 April 2025, the mascots were announced as Ollie, an otter, and Dewey, a dugong. [11]
The initial competition schedule was announced on 18 June 2024. The detailed competition schedule was released on 12 December 2024. [8] [12] [13]
