India will host the Asian Rifle/Pistol Championships 2027, scheduled to take place in New Delhi from December 1 to 10. The championship is significant as it will offer eight Olympic quota places for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. In the same year, New Delhi will also host an ISSF World Cup in April 2027, providing an additional 12 Olympic quota spots. These events fall within the LA 2028 qualification window and reflect India’s growing prominence in international shooting sports, building on its strong medal performance at Paris 2024.
