Calendar for 2025 season confirmed

The 2025 calendar will see athletes compete in ISSF events across four continents.

Malakasa, Greece and Cairo, Egypt are to hold the ISSF World Championships in shotgun and in rifle/pistol respectively.

It will be the first time Greece has hosted the ISSF World Championships, while Cairo has been awarded the competition again after the successful hosting back in 2022.

On the ISSF World Cup calendar, Buenos Aires, Argentina, returns to the line-up for the first time since 1998 and is set to host all three disciplines alongside Lima, Peru - which has been awarded the event after a fantastic 2024 World Junior Championships. Both of these will be held in April.

ISSF World Cup Shotgun events are to be held in Nicosia, Cyprus and Lonato del Garda, Italy. The latter has been on the calendar continuously since 2021.

ISSF World Cup Rifle/Pistol events are to be held in Munich, Germany, as well as in Ningbo, China for the first time.

Jan Ketzel, ISSF Events Manager, said: "Bringing our ISSF World Championships to Greece for the first time in the shotgun discipline will be a historic occasion, and we return to Cairo for the ISSF World Championships for rifle and pistol after the success of our 2022 World Championships in Egypt.

"ISSF World Cup events will take place on three continents, with Buenos Aires returning after 27 years, Lima returning after hosting of the Junior World Championships this year and Ningbo's debut on the calendar.

"We are incredibly excited to begin the new Olympic cycle with a fantastic 2025 calendar that shows how truly global shooting sport is."

Elsewhere, Suhl, Germany is to hold the ISSF Junior World Cup event from 19 to 27 May, with the ISSF Grand Prix 10m to be held at the start of the season in Ruse, Slovenia.

Events may be added to the calendar throughout the year.
