Baku to host World Shooting Championships in 2023

The World Shooting Championships will be held in Baku from August 14 to September 3 in 2023.

The official dates have been announced on the official website of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF).

Earlier, the ISSF World Cup was planned to be held in Russia, but due to the military invasion of Ukraine, the Federation canceled all competitions scheduled in that country. As a result, Russia lost the right to host major sports competitions and as a result, the ISSF World Cup was entrusted to Azerbaijan.
