Hyundai World Archery Para Series – Ahmedabad 2026
Where Determination Meets the Bullseye
Ahmedabad is set to welcome one of the most inspiring events on the international para-sport calendar — the Hyundai World Archery Para Series – Ahmedabad 2026.
Scheduled from 1 to 6 September 2026, the event will bring elite para archers together in India for a competition built around precision, resilience, determination and sporting excellence.
More than a championship, Ahmedabad 2026 represents the growing global visibility of para archery and the remarkable athletes who continue to redefine what is possible in sport.
A Historic Moment for India
The Ahmedabad edition marks an important milestone for Indian archery. India is hosting a World Archery Para Series event for the first time, giving the country an opportunity to showcase its growing strength in para archery on an international stage.
The event comes at an important time for Indian para archery, with a strong home contingent preparing to compete. Among the Indian names associated with the squad are Sheetal Devi, Rakesh Kumar, Harvinder Singh, Shyam Sunder Swami and Toman Kumar, alongside other leading para archers.
The World’s Best Para Archers in Ahmedabad
The Hyundai World Archery Para Series brings international ranking competition together under one global circuit. The 2026 season includes events across different countries, with Ahmedabad serving as an important stage in the series.
Athletes compete across four para archery divisions:
- Recurve
- Compound
- W1
- VI
Each division demands exceptional control, concentration and consistency, making every arrow a test of both technical skill and mental strength.
More Than a Sporting Competition
Para archery tells stories that go far beyond medals and rankings.
Every athlete arriving at the shooting line carries years of training, personal challenges and an extraordinary commitment to excellence. The bow becomes an instrument of focus, while every arrow represents confidence, discipline and determination.
Ahmedabad 2026 provides an opportunity for audiences to witness these stories first-hand — stories of athletes who have transformed challenges into strength and ambition into achievement.
India’s Para Archery Rising
Indian para archery has established itself as a force on the international stage. The country’s recent performances at major global competitions have produced several medal-winning athletes and helped bring greater attention to the sport.
At the 2026 World Para Series, Indian archers have already made their presence felt. At the opening stage in Bangkok, Indian athletes produced strong performances, including a gold medal for Payal Nag. Stage 2 was held in Nové Město, Czechia, from 29 June to 4 July.
Now, the spotlight moves to Ahmedabad.
Ahmedabad: The Stage for a New Chapter
The city’s Sabarmati Riverfront will provide the setting for this landmark sporting occasion, creating a powerful backdrop for international para archery.
Ahmedabad has increasingly become an important destination for major sporting events in India. Hosting the Hyundai World Archery Para Series adds another significant chapter to the city’s growing sporting identity.
For spectators, athletes and sports enthusiasts, the event offers more than competition. It is a chance to experience the atmosphere of elite para sport and witness the precision and intensity behind every shot.
Precision. Power. Perseverance.
At the heart of para archery is a simple objective: hit the target.
But reaching that target requires extraordinary preparation.
Hours of practice.
Absolute concentration.
Physical discipline.
Mental resilience.
And the courage to perform under pressure.
At Ahmedabad 2026, every arrow will carry a story.
A story of preparation.
A story of perseverance.
A story of athletes who refuse to let limitations define their ambitions.
A New Spotlight on Para Sport
Events such as the Hyundai World Archery Para Series play an important role in expanding the visibility of para sport. They provide athletes with international competition, ranking opportunities and a global platform while helping audiences better understand the skill and athleticism involved in para archery.
Ahmedabad 2026 can therefore become more than a successful sporting event. It can inspire a new generation of athletes and encourage greater public engagement with para sports across India.
The Road Ahead
Ahmedabad is one stage in a larger 2026 World Archery Para Series calendar, which continues later in the year with events including Santiago and other international destinations.
For India’s para archers, however, the Ahmedabad stage carries a special significance.
Competing at home.
In front of Indian supporters.
On an international stage.
With the target only a few centimetres away.
