Invitation to the 2025 GYEYANG OPEN
To the President and Members of World Archery,
As the Chairperson of the Organizing Committee (LOC) for the 2025 GYEYANG OPEN, which will be held in Incheon, South Korea, from May 20 to 25, 2025, I am honored to invite you to this prestigious event.
Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, is a city with the best infrastructure and natural environment for hosting international sports events. Located just 30 minutes from Incheon International Airport and near Seoul, it offers excellent accessibility from around the world.
The Gyeyang Asiad Archery Field, where the preliminary rounds will take place, is a state-of-the-art venue that meets World Archery (WA) standards. With a seating capacity of up to 1,000 spectators and an optimal aiming environment, it was built for the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and has successfully hosted major international and domestic competitions, including the Asian Games and the National Sports Festival.
The final rounds will be held at Gyeyang Araon Suhyangwon, introducing a new paradigm for archery competitions. This venue preserves the beauty of a traditional Korean garden, offering a unique setting where athletes can compete in harmony with nature. It provides an exceptional experience where traditional Korean aesthetics and modern sports come together for both athletes and spectators.
We believe that this tournament will be a meaningful stage where the world's top archers gather to showcase their skills. Our Organizing Committee is committed to providing the best environment for all participants to focus on their performance.
Under the sky of Gyeyang, we are ready to witness the brightest moments of your arrows. We sincerely look forward to welcoming many athletes and ask for your support and interest in making this tournament a remarkable success.
