Yucatán Archery: Training & Views from the Balcony

It will be built in the Wireless Sports Complex.

The Americas High Performance Center for archery will be built at the Wireless Sports Complex.

Yucatán will have the High Performance Center of the Americas for archery, a project that will promote sports preparation and the regional projection of this discipline.

The State Government and the National Commission for Physical Culture and Sports will build the center through adaptations to the Wireless Sports Complex during 2026.

The initiative seeks to expand the practice of archery and strengthen training processes in Yucatán with regional scope.

Mexico will have two centers of this type. One will operate in Yucatán and another in Baja California Norte.

The adjustments to the Wireless will begin in January and will serve athletes from the south of the country and Central America.

People from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama and Belize will be able to train at the complex through exchange and concentration programs.

The joint investment will reach 40 million pesos, with state and federal resources destined for infrastructure and equipment.

The authorities scheduled the completion of works for February, the month in which Yucatán will host the Indoor World Series 500.

The tournament will be held from February 13 to 15 at the Yucatán Siglo XXI Convention and Exhibition Center.

This event will bring together archers from several countries and will mark the start of operations of the center after the adaptations.

On January 11, 2026, the Kings Cup will take place in Tizimín, a competition included in the archery calendar.

The cup will function as a third control to integrate the team that will represent Yucatán in the country’s Olympics.

The first selection will take place from February 27 to March 1 as part of the process leading to that fair.

The indoor modality requires precision when shooting at a target with a central circle of two centimeters from 18 meters.

Each participant executes 10 series of three arrows and adds points to define final positions.

During 2025, Yucatán obtained 46 medals in archery at the Olympics held in Tlaxcala.

The result included 24 gold, 10 silver and 12 bronze, figures that support the new center project.
