Bhutan Archery Federation

You have often asked a key question: how can I contribute or be part of the event not just as a participant, but also as an investor, or by managing operations, handling marketing, and helping take the event to the next level.

Now the opportunity is here.

The Bhutan National Archery Championship 2026 (BNAC) is approaching, and the Bhutan Archery Federation is hosting a “Meet the Partners” session at the BOC Hall in Thimphu on 10th June from 3:00 PM onwards.

This is your chance to step in and be part of something bigger. The Bhutan Archery Federation is inviting interested business houses, agencies, and event management companies to explore partnership opportunities for this landmark championship. We are seeking capable partners to help plan, manage, and creatively deliver the event through an outsourced event management model, transforming it into both a major sporting celebration and a strong business platform.

Interested parties are encouraged to attend the meet up or get in touch directly.

Let’s Build BNAC 2026 Together!

Based on our experience from BNAC 2025, BAF believes that a capable partner is essential to elevate the championship to the next level. While we can organize the tournament ourselves, achieving the scale, professionalism, innovation, and spectator experience expected by archers, sponsors, and the public requires collaboration.

To make BNAC 2026 bigger, better, and more impactful, we warmly invite interested business houses, agencies, event management companies, and potential partners to attend the “Meet the Partners” session on 10 June 2026 at 3:00 PM at the BOC Hall, Thimphu.

Together, we can transform BNAC into a premier national sporting event and a platform that benefits archers, partners, and the wider community.

We look forward to meeting you. Kadrinchey la 🙏

The Bhutan Archery Federation is pleased to hand over 7 sets of recurve beginner equipment to Chundu Armed Forces Public School. We are hopeful that this support will help improve the skills of young archers and inspire more students to take up archery, further strengthening grassroots archery development in Bhutan.

We would like to once again thank Mr. Kazi Rajib Chapol, President of World Archery Asia, for his kind gesture and generous support towards archery development in Bhutan.

BAF also extends heartfelt appreciation to the Royal Bhutanese Embassy, Dhaka, Bangladesh for facilitating the smooth transfer of the equipment, and to Drukair, Royal Bhutan Airlines management for their valuable support in transporting the equipment to Bhutan.

Kadrinchey la!

Today, the Bhutan Archery Federation (BAF), in collaboration with the International Games Federation of United World (IGFUW), UP, India, organized a day-long junior archery tournament at the Langjophakha Range in both recurve and compound categories.

A total of 32 archers participated in the event, including 12 from Chhundu Armed Forces Public School, 12 from India, 3 from Royal Thimphu College (RTC), and 5 from BAF. The participants included 23 boys and 9 girls, including 2 para archers, all competing at 20 meters.

The tournament provided valuable competition exposure for our young archers while also serving as a meaningful opportunity to strengthen Bhutan–India friendship through sports.

We would like to sincerely thank the management of Chundu Armed Forces Public School for allowing the junior archers to participate in the tournament and for kindly arranging transportation support.

We also extend our heartfelt appreciation to the management of Royal Thimphu College for facilitating and supporting the participation of students in the event.

BAF remains committed to promoting archery in a safe, structured, and inclusive manner while nurturing future talent for Bhutan.
