What Does It Take to Host the FINA World Aquatics Championships?

After Greensboro withdrew their bid to host either the 2025 or 2027 World Championships, it raised the question: what are the requirements of the host city for such a large-scale event?

Looking at the last six hosts, they have used anywhere between two to five different pools for competition use, between swimming, diving, water polo, and artistic (formerly synchronized) swimming, along with additional outdoor venues for open water swimming and high diving.

The main pool used for the swimming competition has seated anywhere between 12,500 and 18,000 people.
