During a meeting in Cyprus, the Executive Committee of the International Shooting Sport Federation decided to hold the World Shooting Championship in Baku in 2023
The tournament was originally supposed to be held in Russia in August 2022.
Let us remind you that the holding of the World Shooting Championship in Russia was canceled after the requirements of the World Anti-Doping Agency in 2021. After that, the question of holding a world championship left hanging in the air.
