China to Host the 2026 IBSA Goalball World Championships
After Portugal 2022, the world’s top goalball athletes will head to China in 2026. Out of three bids, China was awarded the hosting rights by the IBSA Goalball Sport Committee.
This marks the first time the World Championships will be held in Asia. Although China was originally set to host the event in 2022, it had to be reassigned due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions. The tournament will also be the first to take place outside Europe since 2006.
