These events will be a big boost for India’s shooting sports community. The 2027 World Cup will feature top shooters from around the world, while the Junior World Championship in 2028 will give young talents a chance to shine on the global stage.
India has become a key player in shooting sports over the years. Indian shooters have performed exceptionally well in international competitions, including the Olympics, Asian Games, and World Cups. Hosting these events will not only inspire young athletes but also improve sports infrastructure and training facilities in the country.
The decision to let India host these events shows the ISSF’s trust in India’s ability to organize world-class tournaments. The events are expected to be held in New Delhi, which has previously hosted many successful shooting competitions.
The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) welcomed the announcement and said that India is ready to make these events memorable for athletes and fans.
This is also a chance for Indian shooters to compete on home soil in front of their supporters. It may motivate more young Indians to take up shooting as a sport.
With strong government support and rising interest in shooting, these events could play a big role in shaping the future of Indian sports. India is now on the global map as a top destination for hosting international sporting events, and this is another proud moment for the country.
