World Aquatics (FINA) said on February 9 that Singapore will host its 2025 championships instead of Kazan, the capital of Russia's Tatarstan region.

The exact dates of the 2025 aquatic championships in swimming, artistic swimming, open-water swimming, diving, high diving, and water polo are yet to be announced.
