Saltillo is set to host the world’s elite archers as 32 competitors from 17 countries descend upon the Plaza de Armas in the historic downtown of Coahuila’s capital for the Archery World Cup Final, scheduled from September 10 to September 13, according to local reports. Among the international field, seven Mexican athletes have secured their places in the tournament, with four of those competitors hailing locally from Coahuila.
Event Format and Competition Schedule
The tournament features a streamlined elite bracket divided into four distinct categories: eight archers in women’s compound, eight in men’s compound, eight in women’s recurve, and eight in men’s recurve, as outlined by event organizers. Action begins on September 10 with the official draw among the eight participants in each division to determine single-elimination matchups starting from the quarterfinals. Official training sessions are slated for September 11, while medal matches take place on September 12 and September 13. Spectators can purchase tickets through Boletomóvil or at the venue box office.
Mexican Contingent Led by Local Stars
Mexico’s seven-archery roster features Andrea Becerra and Dafne Quintero in women’s compound, alongside Sebastián García and Rodrigo González in men’s compound. The recurve division features Ana Paula Vázquez, Alejandra Valencia, and Matías Grande. For Saltillo native Matías Grande, competing on home soil carries deep personal significance. “I’m going to represent Mexico where it all began, where I was born, grew up, grabbed a bow for the first time, and where this dream started,” Grande said during the event presentation.

Athletes traveling to Coahuila represent a broad international contingent spanning 17 nations, including South Korea, Germany, Austria, Czechia, China, Colombia, Denmark, Spain, the United States, Estonia, France, Great Britain, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
