The International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Cup will be held in India in the second half of 2025. 

This has marked a significant event for Indian shooting sports and demonstrates the nation's rising international stature.

Significance of ISSF Happening in India

The ISSF Junior World Cup is a distinguished competition that recognizes young shooting athletes. The fact that this tournament will be conducted in India for the first time highlights the country's dedication to supporting upcoming generations of shooters.

Past ISSF Events in India

Major ISSF tournaments, such as two World Cup Finals and four senior World Cups, have been held in India in the past. Earlier this year, the ISSF World Cup Final was held after the senior World Cup in Bhopal in 2023. These incidents have helped to establish India as a major force in the shooting sports industry.

India has hosted nine major shooting competitions in the last ten years, demonstrating the growing popularity of the sport. Indian athletes now have a stronger competitive edge because of the successful staging of these events, which has also enhanced infrastructure and given them more visibility. 

NRAI’s Role in Bringing the Event to India

The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) played a key role in bringing the Junior World Cup to India. Their efforts have been crucial in promoting shooting sports and nurturing talent nationwide.

Hosting the ISSF Junior World Cup is anticipated to draw interest and involvement from throughout the world. It will also provide Indian shooters with a rare chance to compete domestically, which could improve their performance and self-assurance in upcoming international tournaments.
