Issf junior world cup

NRAI President Kalikesh Narayan Singh: India will be hosting the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) Junior World Cup for the first time in the second half of 2025. The ISSF awarded the hosting rights for the top junior international shooting competition for Rifle/Pistol/Shotgun to the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), making it another achievement for the country in shooting sport

This will be the third top ISSF-level event to be held in India after the senior World Cup in Bhopal in 2023 and the season-ending ISSF World Cup Final earlier this year, reinforcing India’s stature as one of the sport’s top destinations in the world, the NRAI informed in a release on Saturday.

Reacting to the development after the NRAI received the official confirmation letter from the ISSF on Friday, NRAI President Kalikesh Narayan Singh Deo said, “We had a very fruitful executive committee meeting of the ISSF in Rome last month and all member federations as well as the ISSF President Luciano Rossi were all praise with the way India has been hosting top international Shooting competitions and helping to grow the sport globally.
