### Mexico to Host Three International Archery Events
Mexico has been chosen to host three additional editions of the Archery World Cup between 2026 and 2028. This achievement comes thanks to the efforts of Mexico’s National Commission for Physical Culture and Sport (Conade), which is led by Rommel Pacheco Marrufo. This significant win is expected to boost the development of archery in the country.
As the nation gears up for the upcoming Olympic cycle, Conade and World Archery Mexico (WAMEX) aim to increase the number of Mexican athletes participating in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Hosting these prestigious events within Mexico provides local athletes with invaluable international exposure and the chance to accumulate ranking points towards Olympic qualification.
Moreover, these events are expected to foster sports tourism, positively impacting various sectors such as hotels, restaurants, and local services, thereby benefiting the broader community. The locations for these events within Mexico will be finalized in 2025. In recent years, Mexico has successfully hosted the Archery World Cup, with past events held in Tlaxcala in 2022 and 2024, and Sonora in 2023. The decision for these future events was made during a World Archery assembly in Istanbul, Turkey.
