Make-or-Break in Madrid
The 2025 Hyundai Archery World Cup reaches its dramatic conclusion in Madrid, Spain, from July 8–13, where the final stage of the circuit promises high-stakes competition, last-chance heroics, and career-defining moments. As the sun sets on the regular season, archers from around the globe will descend on the Spanish capital for one final opportunity to secure a place in the World Cup Final.
While a handful of athletes have already punched their tickets with podium finishes in earlier stages, for many others, Madrid represents their last chance — either by winning the stage outright or by earning the final crucial ranking points needed to qualify on merit.
Recurve
The recurve divisions are set for a fierce showdown, with the race for qualification tighter than ever. Spanish hopefuls Andrés Temiño Mediel and Elia Canales will have the full support of the home crowd as they aim to break into the top seven. The Spanish archers have shown flashes of brilliance throughout the 2025 season, but consistency will be key if they hope to clinch one of the coveted World Cup Final spots.
Compound
In the compound men’s standings, just 8 points separate third-placed Rishabh Yadav from ninth-ranked Emircan Haney, with contenders like Michea Godano, Chen Chieh-Lun, Abhishek Verma, Kim Jongho, and Sebastian Garcia all locked in a thrilling battle for a World Cup Final spot.
With two Mexican compound ladies most likely to qualify on merit, the unused host nation spot opens the door for an eighth compound woman to make it to the World Cup Final — raising the stakes even higher in Madrid.
The Winners Take It All
Madrid’s rich sporting culture and passionate fanbase make it an ideal host for this decisive event. The Spanish team, buoyed by home support, will be eager to make a strong impression, especially in front of local fans at the historic Puente del Rey – Esplanada finals venue.
With everything on the line, expect drama, upsets, and world-class archery as the 2025 Hyundai Archery World Cup regular season comes to a close. Only the best will move on — and for the rest, Madrid is the final arrow.
