Plovdiv is set to welcome Europe’s top archers as the European Indoor Archery Championships take place from 16 to 21 February. The six-day event will bring together elite competitors from across the continent for one of the most prestigious fixtures on the indoor archery calendar.
Athletes will compete in both recurve, barebow and compound divisions, battling for individual and team titles in a highly technical and intensely competitive environment. The indoor format, shot at 18 meters, demands extreme precision and consistency, often resulting in razor-thin margins between podium places.
The championship is organized under the auspices of World Archery Europe and represents a key milestone in the 2026 international season. For many athletes, the event offers a crucial opportunity to test their form early in the year and earn valuable ranking points.
Plovdiv, known for its rich history and growing reputation as a host of major sporting events, has finalized preparations to ensure world-class facilities and optimal conditions for competitors and spectators alike. Hundreds of athletes, coaches, and officials are expected to attend, along with fans from across Europe.
With defending champions aiming to retain their titles and rising talents eager to make their mark on the continental stage, the European Indoor Archery Championships promise six days of precision, focus, and high-level competition in Bulgaria’s second-largest city.
