World Archery Asia President Kazi Rajib Uddin Ahmed Chapol is currently in Kolkata for a three-day visit. He met the Archery Association of India Secretary General Virendra Sachdeva. The two officials spoke about international events that are to be held before taking a final decision to award India the hosting rights.

Kaji Rajib Uddin Ahmed Chapol said, “We are confident that Delhi will be an excellent host, and there should be no problems. If the Archery Association of India wishes, they will host it. We are also considering selecting Delhi as the venue for next year’s Commonwealth Archery Championships.”

Another good news is that Ahmedabad will host the Asian Para Archery Championships in September this year. Meanwhile, Kolkata will also have the opportunity to host an international competition after many years, as it has been awarded the South Asian Archery Championships in 2026.
