World Cup

Launched in 2006, the Hyundai Archery World Cup circuit consists of four stages in 2023 and a final reserved for the top 8 athletes in each category. France will host a stage for the third consecutive year after those organised at the Stade Charléty in 2021 and the Château de Vincennes in 2022. Paris also hosted the World Cup Final on the Trocadero Fountains in 2013.

The Hyundai World Cups take place outdoors at a distance of 70m for recurve bows and 50m for compound bows. The competition generally runs for six days and is divided into two parts, the week with the qualifications and eliminations and the weekend with the finals in an iconic venue in the host city.
