The 2015 season marked the introduction of athletics at the European Games. However, this will not be a major continental event for athletics in the style of the Asian Games, as only the lower tier of the European Team Championships will be contested at the games. Major outdoor continental events will be held for the Americas (Pan American Games), Africa (All-Africa Games), Asia (2015 Asian Athletics Championships) and Oceania (Oceania Athletics Championships).[1]
The Asian Youth Athletics Championships will be inaugurated this year.
