It has been announced that the 2012 ISSF Shotgun World Cup which was planned to be conducted in Cairo starting from March the 1st has been cancelled.

The decision has been taken by the ISSF in agreement with the Egyptian Organizing Committee, given the current situation in the country.

The World Cup has been rescheduled and will take place at the “Trap Conca Verde” shooting range in Lonato (Italy) from the 1st through to 8th May 2012. The ICPSA Olympic Trap ISSF Programme Team selected for Cairo will now therefore participate in Lonato.

After these schedule changes, the 2012 ISSF World Cup Series will kick-off from Tucson, USA on the 23rd of March and will then move to London for a pre-Olympic World Cup stage in all the fifteen Olympic shooting events starting on the 17th of April.
