The 13th World Para Archery Championships took place in Dubai, United Arab Emirates from 19 to 27 February 2022.[1] Originally the event was to take place in 2021 but it was delayed until 2022 by COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3] It was the first time the switch to a two-archer doubles format rather than three-archer teams for the single-gender competitions.[4] Athletes from China were unable to travel due to ongoing pandemic restrictions.[5] This was the biggest parasport event in Dubai since the city hosted the World Para Athletics Championships in 2019.[6]
