India is set to host a top international archery competition for the first time in 22 years, with Delhi being awarded the second leg of the Asia Cup in 2027. The country last hosted a major international archery tournament when the Asian Archery Championships were held in Delhi in 2005. The decision was finalized after World Archery Asia president Kazi Rajib Uddin Ahmed Chapol, who is on a three-day visit to Kolkata, met with Archery Association of India secretary general Virendra Sachdeva to discuss the hosting of upcoming international tournaments.
