The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) has confirmed India as the host for a Junior World Cup in the forthcoming season in 2025.
In a written communication, the ISSF has conveyed the hosting rights for India, while offering two windows in the calendar to slot the competition.
The two slots figure in the September to early November period. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) will decide on the dates soon and convey to the ISSF.
The ISSF president Luciano Rossi had announced that India would host the Junior World Cup during his visit to the Capital in November for the World Cup Finals.
“Now that the official confirmation has come, we are excited and energised to put our best foot forward as usual. We are indebted to the Ministry of Sports for supporting in every possible way,” said the president of the NRAI, Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo.
“The world’s future stars will converge in India for a blockbuster showdown, and we are confident that it will be another big boost for the sport,” said the secretary general of NRAI, Sultan Singh.
Even though it would be the first Junior World Cup in the country, India has hosted several World Cups, two World Cup Finals, apart from a continental championship in the last decade.
