The essentials
  • Matias Grande and Alejandra Valencia Trujillo join the team as host nation invites.
  • Mexico will send two compound women and three recurve and compound men.

Matias Grande and Alejandra Valencia Trujillo, the mixed team gold medalists from the Pan American Championships, are set to represent Mexico at the 2026 Hyundai Archery World Cup Final. As host nation, Mexico receives one invite place per category, and the duo's inclusion adds to a strong team lineup ahead of the event in Saltillo. Their performance at the Pan American Championships has positioned them well to compete at the highest level on this prestigious international stage.

Mexico will send six archers to the World Cup Final. Dafne Quintero and Andrea Maya Becerra Arizaga are qualified in compound women’s, while Ana Paula Vazquez Flores is set for recurve women’s. Sebastian Garcia Flores earned his spot in compound men’s via victory at the stage two event in Shanghai 2026. Rodrigo Gonzalez De Alba, a recent Central American and Caribbean Games runner-up, fills the compound men’s invite spot. Grande and Valencia complete the team in recurve men and recurve women categories, fulfilling the host nation's quota.

Reigning champions Emircan Haney and An San have confirmed they will not take part in the 2026 World Cup Final. Brady Ellison, who secured his place at stage one in Puebla, and Becerra aim to retain their titles. The team is finalized, with no further changes expected as Mexico prepares to host one of archery's major events.

The 2026 Hyundai Archery World Cup Final will be held from 12 to 13 September in Saltillo, marking Mexico's sixth hosting since the competition began in 2006. Athletes and fans alike are eagerly anticipating the action, as top archers converge to compete for the most coveted titles in the sport.
