Over a year after its resurfacing, Sports Minister Olivia Grange says the National Stadium track has officially been certified by World Athletics.

The track was upgraded in March 2025 by international track suppliers Rekortan, ahead of Jamaica hosting the first leg of the now crisis-hit Grand Slam Track.
