EVENT
The Archery World Cup (AWC) for the outdoor discipline consists of a series of four stages and a Grand Final.
With the launch of the Archery World Cup in 2006, FITA aims to consistently enhance its competitions by showcasing events at some of the world's most spectacular locations.
It started with the world championships 2003 in New York Central Park, and followed with the ancient Panathinaiko Stadium for the Athens 2004 Olympic Games. The World Cup Final 2006 then took place at the Mayapan Pyramids (MEX) and the 2007 edition in Dubai (UAE). In the Emirates, FITA built a 70-metre floating platform on the Madinat Jumeirah Lake with the famous 7-star hotel Burj Al Arab in the background.
Since 2008, this special concept was implemented for all the FITA events! Stages of the World Cup took place in the "Oldest Fort of the New World" in Santo Domingo (DOM) or by the Marina in Porec (CRO). The competitors shot on the beach in Antalya (TUR). The archers also had their first night session ever in Boe (FRA). In 2008, the sixteen finalists had the privilege to shoot in the Olympic capital, Lausanne (SUI), with the most beautiful view over Lake Geneva and the Alps Mountains. In 2009, new locations include the downtown river in Shanghai (CHN), downtown streets in Ogden (USA) and the touristic canal in wonderful Copenhagen (DEN).
