Approximately 160 archers will gather under the canvas roof of the Plaza de Toros de La Candelaria on October 24, 2026, as Valdemorillo hosts the opening leg of the Liga FMTA de Sala 2025/2026 (RAUS). The municipality marks the official starting point for the season with the Trofeo Arqueros de Valdemorillo (WA), bringing together competitors ranging from youth divisions to veterans.
La Candelaria Bullring Roof Hosts the Opening Leg of the Regional Indoor Archery League
The competition utilizes the bullring’s covered facility to accommodate multiple divisions and age groups. Competition gets underway at 09:00 with equipment checks and practice sessions, followed by official scoring rounds for instinctive shooting, longbow, barebow, and novice categories in both men’s and women’s divisions. Afternoon sessions begin at 15:30 local time, shifting focus to recurve and compound bow divisions across under-14, cadet, junior, senior, and veteran brackets.
Registration for the event closed on October 18 at 23:59. Participating athletes are required to hold a national license homologated by the Madrid Archery Federation (FMTA), though competitors registered with other regional bodies are permitted to enter subject to available space under rules established by the Royal Spanish Archery Federation.
Local Authorities Highlight Growing Interest in Municipal Archery Programs
The Valdemorillo Town Council previously recognized the Club Arqueros Villa de Valdemorillo with its Sports Merit Medal in 2023 in acknowledgment of its role in promoting the discipline within the area.
“As in previous years, from the sports department we encourage everyone to follow the start of this regional indoor archery league, a discipline that is already generating interest in Valdemorillo judging by the strong number of enrollments the municipal school has this term,” Eva Ruiz stated.
Spectator Access and the Closing Award Ceremony Scheduled for October 24
Public attendance at the La Candelaria venue remains free of charge throughout the day. Spectators can observe the precision shooting as participants complete their scoring arrows.
Local authorities will preside over the closing ceremony at the conclusion of the afternoon session, distributing trophies to the top finishers in each category.
