Lausanne [Switzerland], December 5 (ANI): The South Korean city of Gwangju will host World Archery Championships and World Archery Congress in 2025.
Gwangju was selected ahead of Madrid, with 10 votes to one.
World Archery said it will be the third time that archery's leading competitive nation has hosted the championships, following Seoul in 1985 and Ulsan in 2009.
