The National Rifle Association of India has been awarded the hosting rights for the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Cup Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun 2025.
This will be the third top-level ISSF event to be held in the country in the last two years after the senior ISSF World Cup in Bhopal in 2023 and the season-ending ISSF World Cup Final in October this year at the Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Range in New Delhi, featuring select top shooters of the season.
Reacting to the development after the NRAI received the official confirmation letter from the ISSF on Friday (December 20), Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo, President, NRAI, said that he got the sense that India will be hosting this event after the executive committee meeting of the ISSF in Rome last month where ISSF President Luciano Rossi praised India for hosting the recent top level events. “We obviously got the sense then but now that the official confirmation has come, we are excited and energised to put our best foot forward as usual,” he said.
K. Sultan Singh, Secretary General, NRAI said that the ISSF in their letter has requested India to confirm two possible convenient slots, one in September-October and the other during the end October-beginning November period. “We will after meeting internally share the same with them at the earliest so that member federations can prepare accordingly,” Singh said.
This will be the ninth top-level Shooting championship to be held in India over the past decade but the first ISSF Junior World Cup. Before this India had hosted two continental championships and six ISSF competitions, including two World Cup Final competitions besides four senior ISSF World Cups.
