India is set to host the Asia Cup archery tournament in Delhi in 2027, marking the return of major international archery events to the country after 22 years. Ahmedabad will host the Asian Para Archery Championships in September, and Kolkata will host the South Asian Archery Championships in 2026.
Terming the election a start of a new era in Indian archery, Dielen said: 'We are pleased to see this progress and hope that this is really the start of a new era for Indian Archery.'
