Lyon France was chosen as the host of the 2015 World Masters Athletics Championships. The WMA moved to change the meet to even numbered years to avoid conflict with the World Masters Games, and awarded the 2016 championships to runner-up Perth Australia. Budapest Hungary won the election for the 2014 Indoor Championships.
